My Triad of Integrateds


Whenever someone says they are looking for an integrated, I think they should try brands:

  • Luxman
  • Pass
  • Ayre
  • Arcam (actually a lot like Ayre to my ears)


Because I hear them as quite different sounding. What about you? Is there a constellation of integrateds you think buyers should experience?

I have owned a Pass Labs INT-30 and very much enjoyed it.  However in my 15’x12’ listening room with a 8’x4’ window and a sliding glass door combined with the Florida heat I sold it as it increased the room temperature by 3-5 degrees.

Having said that, I'm very pleased with the Mark Levinson 585 that replaced it.  You owe it to yourself to give a Mark Levinson integrated a listen.
If they were easier to actually see and hear in the real world and not only on the Internet, Accuphase could qualify.

Yeah, accuphase and the latest Yammies are models I'd like to hear for sure!
Raven Audio Tube amps.  3 levels to choose from.  Outstanding sound that can drive any speakers.
