Uber Amps - Are they worth it?


This was very well done I thought and struck a chord with me. 
 

Your thoughts?

High end integrated amp assessment

Video say Pass INT-60 is great but speaker-limited. Really?  I have 88dB 4 ohm speakers, and I'll never replace the thing.  Are we assumed to be stupid idiots or what?  As if we don't know how to match components?

I personally have never heard any integrated sound as good as D’Agostino integrates. It manages to pull off the trick of getting liquid but buttery smooth AND detailed midrange whilst reproducing superior end to end extension. Particularly the high end. If I could afford one I’d buy in a heartbeat. 

This video is garbage, unsurprisingly since all audiophile YouTube videos are garbage.

VAC's are worth it to me - Statement, Master level tube amps. I think Kevin Hayes is a genius in voicing his amps. Of all the money I've spent in this hobby, this chunk (a good sized chunk for sure) continues to yield pleasure and difference-making to "justify" the cost. The longer I own them, the harder it gets to listen to anything else. 

Not sure I can wrap my head around spending that kind of money on a SS amp, but to each their own.
