PKay Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Further Information: I am looking at trying something new for my Grahams. I am the first owner and it was bought locally so will have full support. The amp is like new and does sound as good as it reviews. I am also going to list my Devialet Le 200 and will only be selling one of the amps. At this stage it is only EOI as I need to line up another purchase. http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/the-lavardin-it-integrated-amplifier The Lavardin IT works with all types of music, but is with the most difficult music that its strengths are most obvious. Listeners of Jazz and Classical music will no longer have to puzzle about the artistic merit of a performance or composition. The IT lays it all out. I was pleased to discover that the IT’s supreme performance was not limited to LP playback: CD was reproduced in a musically compelling manner that almost transcended its compromised inherent limits regarding time and phase. Listening, however, to an Origin Live Aurora MKII turntable mated with the Origin Live Conqueror tonearm and The Cartridge Man MusicMaker Classic phono cartridge was easily the most exalted aesthetic experience I’ve ever had listening to recorded music. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue46/lavardin_integrated.htm The point of the Lavardin Model IT, which is to provide a solid-state integrated amplifier that can compete with the best vacuum tube equipment from a musical standpoint, and that it accomplishes to perfection. The Lavardin Model IT has changed the way I think about the performance of solid-state amplification, and I enthusiastically give it my highest recommendation to music lovers everywhere.

rossb Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 This is genuinely a superb sounding amplifier - undoubtedly one of the best solid state integrated amplifiers available. At this price I'm sure it will be snapped up quickly. 3
