Ultimate Integrated amps

@rick2000

Mine had Electro Harmonix 300B as stock tubes

I replaced theme with Wester Electric 300B the day I got my Brama Integrated.

It is a good choice to have Western Electric as stock tubes.

You do not wish to have average tires  when you buy a Bentley

I think , the choice of Electro Harmonix was based on reliability .

@maxwave Yes the new Western Electric 300B tubes are said to be the best money can buy ! I see some that got the Vinnie Rossi Brama Integrated amps are now selling them and moving up to the Brama preamp and Brama amps after hearing them. They Must Sound Heavenly Good ! 

This Brama integrated looks like a very nice piece of gear, most likely the only one with 300B linestage.

and delivers much more current than the Diablo 300.

@thieliste I seriously doubt that. The Diablo 300 delivers 238A according to measurements in a Swedish HiFi mag. For comparison: Pass Int 250: 21A, X350.8: 43A and D’Agostino S350: 157A

bass was not impressive at all.

Controlled, articulate, authoritative and taut bass is probably the D300’s strongest suit. The D300 must be an extremely bad match with Thiel speakers?!

@swede58  The Diablo 300 is a very bad match for Thiel speakers that's for sure.

Bass was terrible on my Thiel, very lean and not musical and very bright trebel.

I'm sure the Diablo 300 is a very good integrated but not with Thiel speakers!
