    My new Halo Integrated Amp

    Greetings all,

    I thought I would introduce myself as stereo5, an audiophile for the last 47 years. I purchased a Halo Integrated Amplifier and I am playing it at this moment. This amplifier replaces a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum tube integrated amp. I was growing weary of replacing the power tubes as I play this system at least 8 hours a day, every day of the year. This is my secondary system which is in my home office which I spend a lot of time in. The Halo is outputting to a pair of Golden Ear Triton Two speakers and thus far, I have found the bass of the Halo, far superior to the tube amps bass in pitch and definition. The tube amp used KT-120 tubes for 100wpc.

    I was also quite impressed with the dealer from whom I made the purchase from. They were very knowledgeable, friendly and very quick to reply to email messages via a phone call (imagine that!).

    Here are a couple of pictures. The last picture is with the tube amp in place. The speakers are oriented that way because I sit off to the side at my computer under one of the dormers. This system is for very casual listening.

        So, please offer a comparison between the sound of the Rogue Audio and the Parasound.
        TIA

          Hey, stereo5, welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana: And another :banana: for the new toy! I'm not as familiar with the integrated amp model, so I'd like to hear more of your thoughts too.

            by jclyle
            A question for those of you using tube amps or tube integrateds with your N804's or other Nautilus series, how many watts are your amps? I am debating a integrated tube amp, im trying to stay around $2K, but most of the models are limited to 50 wpc or so. Right now I have a McIntosh MA6900 that is...
