The seperate is much better. You can get most of Nagra house sound, which is very natural, smooth, but powerful and defined by simply adding the Classic preamp into the chain. I heard Nagra pre with Bryston amplification of all things and it was amazing.
Plus I think the Nagra Classic preamp is better engineered than either the classic integrated or the classic amp. However the classic amp is much better than the integrated.
