Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard?

I agree with Jared Lee. The Musical Fidelity KW 500 is easily my all time favorite integrated. Runner up would be Roksan.

Love Luxman from Japan, LFD from the UK, and McIntosh from the US. All are wonderfully built products that will offer many years of service. Second the postings for the Mac 6300 and the Luxman 1590.

Own it: 1964 HH Scott 222D with 7189A output tubes (not EL84's) so I get true 22wpc.

I am service eng for several super high end brands, and have yet to have this amp beaten by much at all with any level of separates. Something to be said for one less power supply and interconnect pair.

Still rolling bypass caps; finding the Solen Fast Caps too bright, trying WIMA MKP-4's next.

Jared, I would have to agree with you as I sold my KW-500, off a few years ago and regretted it ever since. For inexpensive Int. Amps, I would have to say the new NAD line "BEE" series all sound very good, they just put it in a cheap box. I have owned Mac and a few others over the years and MF seems to match up best with my speakers. I would say the A5 and A5.5 series are also very good from MF, just not as good as the KW-500. If anyone decides to sell there KW-500 let me know!!! :)

The best I have heard is the LFD Mistral.
