REGA OSIRIS. After hearing tihs gem, imho, it will put many pre-power combination a run for their money. That's how good this integrated amp from Roy Gandy.

For a suprsinginly good value hybrid integrated, i'd also have a listen to the Unison Research Unico Secondo. If you're looking at pure tube integrateds, i'd include the Quad II, Leben CS-300XS or Leben CS-600. And i'd probably be drawn and quartered if I didn't include the classis Vac Phi Beta as well |

My, those are big cans (but I prefer Boulder & Gryphon's approach...more, lower value caps = greater speed, reliability & higher damping factor)

After a recap (Clarity) and some tube-rolling, my Cary SLI-80 is truly a wonderful sounding amp. If you are into tubes at all, picking up a used SLI-80 and having the factory recap it will provide a terrific piece of gear.
At some point, when my ears can no longer detect the difference (old age - am 68 and lucky me, still have decent hearing), I might go back to SS with a 'full-function' remote.

I have 3 top contenders when it comes to integrated. '
Diablo 300, Gryphon Isis, Analog Domain Continuum S2, Jeff Rowland (owning it) At this level there is no such thing as a bad product. Everything has to do with taste and matching with the rest of the equipment. |

To each their own, but that definitely does not "look" awesome to me. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that.
