Advice on a nice integrated is needed

Strickly my opinion nay advice FWIW:

I'd toss the VAC Phi Beta into the category of high class integrateds as well. Its the best looking one at least IMHO.

The JRDG seems to have a sterling reputation as well.

The Emitter seems to be the most ground breaking and intriguing design to me personally...never heard one though.

Amazingly, the JRDG would appear to be by far the bargain among these three.

Have you considered the Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp? I am using the the Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp to drive my Sonus Faber Domus Speakers. I have the Ayre CX-7e CD player and the Magnum Dynalab MD-102T Tube FM Tuner. The AX-7e has plenty of power to drive my SF Domus Speakers. The overall sound quality is excellent and the tube like quality of the Ax-7e make these speakers really stand out. I was very surprised at how good the system sounds and so were my friends. I suggest you listen to the Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp in your system. cheers...

What are you looking for in the music? What is the rest of the system? VAC, Luxman? Maybe.
