Now you have me intregued. Not a lot of occupations require you to listen to music.
I used to work in the music industry and now I write about music and technology for a living.
Hey, there are some great smaller companies making really good integrated amps for reasonable prices. Look at
NAD for instance. Their
C325BEE has been getting some attention of late (someone else on this board asked for advice on it).
I guess I'm just biased against big companies like Yahama. They are such a mass production company that somewhere down the line they have skimped on something in order to make money and keep the price low.
I hope you find an amp that fits your budget and your listening needs. Oh, and if you get it to dance, take pictures!
