Best Integrated, period.


Has anyone compared, Gryphon Diablo, Gamut Di150, Vitus SS101, Krell FBI, APL UA-S1 Jeff Rowland Continuum 500? Please add what you found to be best integrated.

Arte Forma Audio Susan with remote controlled Dual lightspeed attenuators will be coming on the market at the end of this month. From what I heard on the forums these lightspeed passive attenuator preamps sound alot better after you put them (inside a amp)! Keep a close eye on this Integrated amp it just might be the best to come on the market yet !!
I have no idea what is best. I do know that I am very happy with my Rowland Continuum 500. It has the blackest background and is really easy to listen to. I've compared it to a few other pricey integrated amps and it easily won out for me. I wish I could hear half of the amps mentioned in this thread as I bet they are killer. One of these days, I'd like go pick up a tube integrated for my bedroom system. I should mention that the Continuum replaced a VTL pre/power.
Lfd ncse! Just kidding. Superb for me, but it's in the eye or ear of the beholder...
I second Notec on the Leben. I just auditioned one in the past week, but its smaller bro: check out this superb review.

Pricey, but is extremely high quality and will last a lifetime...note the point to point wiring. If too expensive, consider a cheep interim solution like an NAD320BEEE and patiently wait to pounce a on a good deal for your dream.
Is there a "best" integrated? I like my Musical Fidelity A5 coupled two my dynaudio's...but that's just me.
