Based on design alone, it is several notches above amps like the Creek and Cute Beyond. I'm basing my comments on the design, which is discrete, true dual mono, and robust, and the comments on its rather long, dedicated thread.

Which Marantz? And are you saying that a good integrated is as good as a good dedicated amp? Frankly, after reading the comments of posters here and elsewhere expressing regret at having bought expensive dedicateds only to find them no better than their mate's integrated, and having listened at length to the Little Dot Mk V, and extensively compared my current Marantz to the Cute Beyond, I have grave doubts that dedicateds are worth the expense unless one is severely dissatisfied with one's integrated and/or one has heard a particular dedicated in one's system and clearly detected an improvement.ĭo not misunderstood, I said what I said: ".BTW I have a Marantz and they do sound good, but I do not feel is anything special in comparison to a good headphone amp."

Probably later you'll decide to switch it off, but unless you become 'fanaticised' (just made that word up) by spending too much time here, I doubt if you'll become dissatisfied with your Marantz overall. There's no reason in the world why your Marantz shouldn't make your headphones sound as good as you need them to sound my PM6010 does.
There's this lil' "loudness" button on the integrated amp, and I must say it made music sound quite a bit nicer - extended bass and treble - and it sounds pretty immersing that I'm actually listening to the W1000 that I chucked aside for a long time.Īnyone tried using their integrated amps as headamps too? I use it for my K1000 (haha I can hear the boos coming already) and today I plugged in my W1000 into the pm6002, can't help to say i'm quite impressed.
That's right, I'm using an integrated amp here. Originally Posted by djork /img/forum/go_quote.gif
