Search for miracle integrated


Hello All,

I'm on a search for a very specific type of integrated. I am upgrading my system from the top of the stream down. I go all digital / Lossless quality or higher so the logical start was with the DAC. I just received my Yggdrasil which I absolutely LOVE and feel that I got a much better value than I was expecting (even with all the praise online it met and exceeded my expectations).

My quest continues with the integrated. I am looking for a company that spends very little on marketing and works to move as much of the value for the money to the product itself. Very high value is important to me, I want to get value above the price and I don't want to pay for anything I don't need (such as a built-in DAC as I already have one). The more musical and the higher the clarity the better. My short list is pretty short- the SimAudio Moon 600i and Ayre's integrated.  Some other factors are below. I typically buy new but I'm open to a good value in a used product as well.

Budget (only for the integrated): $8K+/-
Music preference: classical, light rock, pop
End speakers:  It is between Accoustic Zen Crescendo / Vandy Quatros / Wilson Sophias / Revel Salon Ultimas 
Power: 150 WPC+ into 8 ohm

That phi 110 was a "call it quits for me amp ". A great and rare deal , there is a gryphon for sale here but not a diablo. I just really like vac always have . I see one in my future hopefully the 110 👍
I am a acoustic zen fan , the cresendos are top notch . I just talked to mr lee today about shortening some cables i have from him ( adagios ,all az cables,nuvista ) I strongly suggest you call him , he almost always answers himself . And i would ask his opinion on power. The mf nuvista will sound great and rip , I personally would be going reference vac intergrated used

Ask inna he found a vac phi 110 used for 9k cple weeks back 25k new epic for those crescendos ( a dream amp for me )

. Again call mr lee he will give you great advice and may offer you a deal you can’t refuse. Any az spkr owner usually gets 40% off on cables etc
just saying ..
cheers

there is also a vac sigma 160 for sale here for like $8500
