cost no object integrated amps

Any news here on super integrated amps? Goodsource, did you came nearer to your decision?

Why is the Jeff Rowland Daemon just mentioned once or twice, but not more? In my opinion ist JRDG one of the real musical and most aesthetical products in audio industry constantly in the last 40 years. I had 6 different preamps from him in my system in the last 20 years and like them a lot.
Actually I intend to buy the Daemon. Power nearly without limit, outstanding phono and DAC integrated, preamp output and power amp input for any further experiences with existing or future separates to check the quality and make a/b comparisons.

Have you any comparisons Daemon vs. Humboldt or Gryphon?

This thread is indeed special with all the big boys. I'm also well aware that people will recommend what they currently own particularly if it works for them. No surprise there and I'll do the same.

For anyone who doesn't have the funds or do not want to spend so much for a premium TOTL integrated from the big boys, have a look at the Luxman L-590AXII. It may not measure up when you look at the price but it's very very special.

It may be useful if folks can share what speakers are matched to these premium cost-no-object integrateds though.

Since this thread started (Sept 2020), who has purchased one of these big dog integrated amps (say, $20k or above msrp), what comparisons did you make before purchasing, and which integrated was the runner up that just lost out to your eventual choice?

OP, did you pull the trigger yet?

I purchased a Diablo 300 to drive my Thiel CS 3.7s and i'm very happy with this combo.For my next rig i'll be looking at Audionet Humboldt or Pilium Leonidas to drive a pair Borresen 03 Cryo Edition.I'm going to try to audition the Leonidas at some point.
