In Reply to: RE: Simplicity of downsizing.... posted by slapshot on March 22, 2017 at 13:00:09
It looks fantastic, slapshot. How long have you lived with this set-up? No downsides going with an integrated?
The reason I ask is because I'm looking into new amplification (want more power than the 50 watts I'm using now). I'm thinking of going the pre/mono amp route but the simplicity and savings of an integrated is tempting. I'm actually using an integrated now.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Cheers,
Scott

I've had the INT-250 now for a couple of weeks. It is actually a significant improvement over my previous separate Pass Lab amp and preamp. It seems ideally suited to driving Maggies. I think there are very high quality integrated amps out there (Pass Labs being near the top) that are very much worth considering. I never expect to go back to separate amps and preamps. There is some irony in saying I'm downsizing when the INT-250 weighs in at 105 lbs, but it is a much simpler system.
That is very cool, slapshot. That amp is a beast. The inside is a work of art. I'm sure if I had the budget for the INT-250 I'd be set as well.
Enjoy your new amp, slapshot. You've got something special there.
Cheers,
Scott
Thanks, Scott. You can always look for bargains at RenoHifi on Pass Lab gear; Mark is a great guy to deal with and has been very helpful to me over the years.
I'm a big fan of integrated amps. They do simplify things, without much if any sacrifices. There are many good ones out there.
The INT-60 serves me well, and I have no desire to go back to separates.
Enjoy,
