Because they are stuffing to much stuff into one box! Ive never liked Integrated amps myself.

Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
I’m trying to find a HIGH QUALITY integrated that has:
1. A no-corners-cut real class A - A/B power stage.
2. A real, high quality analog preamp line stage.
3. A good phono stage.
Aside from a few very high end products, the above described integrateds seem not to exist. Why can’t I find a quality integrated? Do we just have to accept having a pile of boxes?

MadavidO: This may not meet your exact, but a powerful and amazing Control Amp https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8e1gi-conrad-johnson-ca200-stereo-integrated-amplifier-ca-200-1... https://positive-feedback.com/Issue32/cj_ca200.htm |
That is Totally wrong !! Pass labs integrated , Gryphon Audio,FM Acoustics , Ensemble sudio, Accuphase, Mcintosh, Mark Levenson, and there are much more High quality integrated out there. If you have the money $10k and up retail they can equal and best many seperates out there, less cables more direct less conversion circuitry up to 90lbs. |
