what are some cost no object  , no compromise super integrated amps that rivals separates. would love to hear some thoughts, ownership experience and which ones must be considered in the shopping list.may be in 30k to 60k price range
 some of them which come to my mind are

1. dan d'agostino momentum
2. audionet HUMBOLDT
3. soulution 530
4. dartzeel CTH-8550
5. ch precision I1
6. vitus SIA 30

feel free to add or suggest any other ones. or if someone can comment on each of these or rank in the order of preference with their reasoning.

yes HUMBOLDT no doubt should be much better than their other integrated and may be also better than their separates pre-g2 and max.
does any one know how it compares to any other brands like dan d'agostino momentum or even say CH separates L1 / A1.5 mono's or ypsilon phaeton silver edition(50k).
anything to understand comparatively. although the design and engineering specs look impeccable, there are not much reviews i can find.

Thanks but 39k is not what i call same price range as Gryphon Diablo 300.Diablo 300 is 15k, i don't see anything that can compete in this price range other than T+A PA 3100HV.T+A is not as musical as Gryphon IMO.

ASR Emitter Exclusive Blue version would be on my list. Owned it for many years. Very nice in many ways.
