Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List
The Vanguard Scout monitors look very nicely put together and priced.  So does their stands.  Too bad they are sold out.  Does this happen often or is this company moving on from this model or monitors in general?  
Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”
I'm expecting the delivery of my Atoll IN200 evo (said to be much better / closer to the IN300 sig sound that ABA loved in his review) with the DA100 card in it to help consolidate my system also (audio refinement / yba separates).  Fingers crosse... 
All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what?
@tomaswv, when you auditioned the Atoll SDA200 sig and the IN300 evo, did you also demo the IN200 evo?  If so, how close were the two IN evos?  What was different between the two?

Thanks @decooney for your reply.  I am really hoping to consolidate 6 or 7 boxes down to 1 very shortly (should be receiving the IN200 Evo with DA100 card very soon) with the possibility of adding the P100 card at a future date.  Any feedback or n...

Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier
Yes, watched both his IN300 sig (very favorable) and IN200 sig (not favorable) reviews.  I am also considering an IN200 evo given a dealer I've be discussing a purchase with said the new IN200 evos sound much more like the IN300 sig models.  Has a... 
Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier
@painter24  Atoll uses auto switching power supplies in their amps and integrateds?  I am in the Seattle USA area.  
Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier
After some more research and watching both IN200 and IN300 A British Audiophile's reviews, I'm considering going with the IN300 (not the new evo).  Anyone have one in black they are thinking of selling soon?  
Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier
Thanks @painter24.  Another reason why I want to try the IN200 is it is one of the few integrated amps that has a tape loop.

Reviving an old-ish thread here. Gah, been trying to find one of the current edition Atoll IN200 Signature integrated models (screen in middle, one large knob on each side of screen) in black to listen to and possibly demo at home.  I like to sho...
