Looking to start a discussion on integrated Amplifiers. I would love to hear both arguments. Is modern technology (outside of dacs) superior? Or is a 20 year old similarly spec’d amplifier just as good? Is a 20 year old high end amp just as capable of a high end amp today?
I recently picked up an Onkyo M-5030 power amp and a Nikko Beta II preamp. They are from the late 70’s/early 80’s and sound pretty amazing considering the age. Both devices need some love but as is in survivor condition they both sound fantastic.
