Huh, I have a Luxman 509z integrated amp. I like that is all in one "box" with a headphone and phono amp with tone controls if that is your thing. Yes about 65 lbs. but not too bad to put on a shelf and I am 73. It eliminates cables and plays class A for the first 10 watts. I rarely go past that and it has a higher damping factor which delivers a good amout of current to the speakers. That's all I need and it sounds wonderful with enough power, definition and spatial depth.
What do you like about your integrated amp?
So, the other day I was moving my ARC REF 75 amp to clean the insides, along with the shelf it was sitting on, when suddenly I felt a stabbing pain in one of my obliques, as I was twisting my body.
Shouting out a quick, "Oh f***," my wife said, "What are you going to do when you get older, and can't move the amp?" I have periodically wondered that myself, since I am just shy of 71.
As the discussion title says-what do you like about your integrated amp? It's a wide-open query because I'm thinking if I'm going to consolidate my equipment, let's see what's out there? I'm partial to tube equipment and have enjoyed Audio Research for almost 30 years. Does that mean I should get an ARC integrated? Maybe, maybe not.
FTR--I listen to lots of jazz, folk, classical, not that much rock beyond what I grew up listening to-Beatles, the Dead, the Stones--stuff like that. I have a pair of ProAc 30Rs, an Aurender server, and an ARC CD6SE.
All your comments are appreciated-
David
