Poor picture but here is my old standby the Unison Unico. This is one of the earlier ones with the volume only wood remote. The remote is radio and not infra red. A very nice sounding amp.

Terrific!
Makes me want to get out my HK Coronet (which is a receiver rather than integrated amp). But it will have to wait until I have time to recap.

Just got my Pass Labs INT 150 today--love it! I'm hearing details that I've never heard before. The speed and transparency are fantastic...and that's right out of the box! No doubt it will continue to improve as it breaks in.

On integrated amps i currently own:

- viva solista
- bel canto c5i
- marantz pm15s2

I try to rotate them from time to time... Of course the solista is miles ahead of the other two

Very nice! I've always wanted to hear this amplifier.

First years Pioneer, Yamaha, Nakamichi and Arcam. Then Densen B-150 and present Burmester 032. All good integrated but to different time.

The Burmeter 032 are realy a solid and a nice sounding amp!
