Best Integrated, period.

I am biased being a lover of low power high quality amps and high sensitivity speakers but for me and many like me the best amp period is my Audio Note Ongaku (Japan , Kondo era mid 90s) I am selling it to raise cash for house move.

Enquiries welcome

Accuphase E-560.

Give the Mystere ia11 a try for the money. I think it's a sleeper among the competition.

Anyone heard the Neodio NR 1200 or Norma IPA-140. I'm curious if there on the same level as the Dartzeel-Gryphon-Vitus or VAC.

It is probably impossible to specify the "best" integrated amp. But if you're looking for a good one in the $800-$1000 (USD) range, you should give the Rega Brio-R an audition. I just bought one to replace my old NAD c740 receiver and the Rega is a big bump up in terms of depth, clarity and detail. I've mated it to pair of GoldenEar Aon-3 bookshelf speakers and I've never heard better sounding music in my residence. My other components are" Rega Apollo CD player; Rega P2 turntable (bias-2 cartridge).
