As integrated goes though, at that show, my favorite was the Soulution 330.
Audio shows are hardly the right place to hear any component but If one sounds great at a show its a good sign and promising...

Especially, how would you compare the sound of 330 with other integrated amps in the light of technical specs (330 has much better resolution numbers than Accuphase 650, 480 etc.). But being a Swiss product, Swiss are notorious with high priced products, so it may not be the best bang for the buck after all.
Right now, used Gryphon 300s go for $9000 to $10000. Soulution 330 around $10000. Accuphase 650 for $9000 (not in US). I believe the brand new Accuphase 480 is $7000 (not in US). And all of these products less than 1yr old or few months old. If all of this is true, what would be the best bang for the buck? Also, in terms of reliability, how does 330 scores against Accuphase and Gryphon?
