Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI?

Pm,

The DeHaviland is the one I was thinking about.

Thor is supposed to be back in business.

I don't think Thor ever made an integrated. I did not realize Jerry Ozemont got involved with their return to the market, that is a good sign; one the the great "behind the scenes" designers - his Audio Logic DACs were first rate. I expect Thor gear will be in a different price category when they do get product to market, assuming they can make it happen.

Sorry to confuse. Thor does not make an integrated, but rather I was referring to their TA1000 preamp and TPA30 amps.

No, I did not use a preamp with the VAMP. No, the Joule VAMP do not come up often used here on Agon, but I have seen one or two over the past 6-9 months.

Anybody care to weigh in on the Primaluna integrateds with the MMIs?
