Esoteric AI-10 review at Soundstage...
This unit looks interesting for anyone interested in an integrated amp with onboard A->D and D->A conversion, a master clock, and an MM and HOMC phono. Puts out 110wpc into 8ohm and 150wpc into 4ohms. All for $5K. Soundstage.com gave it a Reviewer's Choice award. Very nice build quality too. Here's a link to the review: SoundStage!

WOW!!! Very impressive. I think that we are going to be seeing a lot more amps like this...
I wish that ARC would come out with one, with all of these features... maybe even McIntosh would consider building an integrated with DAC and phono... |

It makes sense however and also cuts down on rack space and cabling required naturally. A lot of providers are also taking a modularized approach with variable pricing depending on what modules you spec the gear with (DAC, phono, tuner, etc...). I know NAD, Behold, Bryston, and a few others have products like that. |

I will have one of those in house for demo in the next month or two.
If anyone is nearby and wants to listen to the AI-10. OF course preferred treatment for AA members! |
