Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers

For our collective entertainment, this thread is all about upgrades.  The rule is that you cannot post unless you have owned the most recently posted integrated amplifier and upgraded to a different integrated amplifier.  

For example, I started with a Yaqin MC-30L and upgraded to a Pathos Classic One MkIII.

The next person should post their upgrade from a Pathos Classic One and so on.

The issue with this and some other forums for me is folks posting with opinions about Equipment that they haven't owned or even heard.  They will parrot what's been written by reviewers or posters similarly inexperienced.  Sorry folks, but if you haven't heard it you don't have an opinion.

"It does appear the Pathos less taken

has made all the difference".

We all agree this is a silly post but does it merit such a Frosty response?

"I just love it when someone says: "I listened to such and such and it killed the other such and such".

Really?

This is not a drag race"

. . . more like an "Ego race", for some.

@coppy777 you win the award for most off topic reply.

I do, however, agree that it's essentially impossible to have an credible opinion on audio product if you have not personally heard them.

I'd also add that because mixing and matching components has mixed results that are only trumped by listener preferences it's hard to have a credible opinion on an audio product if you have not personally heard them in a very similar system.

All forums have been cancelled :-)
