I bought a Unison Research Unico hybrid integrated amp when they first came out and had it for a couple of years. A very nice sounding amp. The hybrid design concept can work very well if implemented properly.
Hybrid Integrated Amps: Any Good?
I have the opportunity to purchase a Bada dc-222 for around $400. It's a tube pre/solid state power integrated amp. Part of me says, "Wow, tube and solid-state, best of both worlds," while another part of me says, "Sounds like a gimmick and compromise that is going to be the worst of both worlds." Thoughts?
