Atoll IN 300 Amplifier - Anyone got / heard one?

[The_Lecht_Rocks]

What....your looking to spend 11k on a amp......that Luxman is massive..lol....my mate has the 507z....it's a cracking amp and rather large for a integrated .it's 8k...and not worth the extra £££££'s in sound quality compared to my Electrocompaniet.....but it's a beautiful thing...you pays your money and all that stuff.....and if you're in this bracket for Amplifiers and Speakers....your sources need to up there game....seriously....I'm looking at your signature...you should be looking at .separate streamer transport and dac if you want to get the best from a big amp upgrade.

I’ll not spend that much… I’ve eyes on 2nd hand and ex demo kit….including new streamer and DAC or DAC only to “improve “ source input…. Likely a Qutest initially…

That's the route I took after trying the IN300 and have been very pleased and unless I win the lottery won't change. I went from WiiM Streamers to the newest initially Bluesound Nano with the Qutest and later to the newest version Node N132 as I wanted optical in as a convenience for other scenarios.

Personally I found using USB out vs Coax / Optical made a difference as well.

Same here, unless I win the lottery my IN100 is going nowhere!
France's hidden gems.

I also bought the Electrocompaniet Eci 6mkii pre loved and got it at a good price ( in my mind anyway) what a amplifier!!!!!....and that also is a rare thing....it is just a amplifier, no dac, no streaming smarts, no headphone output, no phono stage, this 20kg thing just amplifies music in the most beautiful way.....I think it's my endgame amp, although I wouldn't say no to my mates Luxman 507z.

Atoll IN300 EVO into ATC SCM11… Good marriage / synergy ?
I can mix and match if so…

I’d quite like to hear an Atoll amp with ATC speakers, in theory that should sound lovely.

Gold Note & ATC sound excellent - although I’ve only heard the IS1000 deluxe which is double the cost of the Atoll.

What about a nice big Yamaha? Has that already been suggested? Not much power on paper but able to do so much more according to some. Just to add to LR increasing list 🙂

Doug Brady sells Atoll, all models, amps, CD transport, streamers etc.
The IN400 Evolution is an amazing amp but look at the price!

Simple minimalist design, just love it but can't afford it. Maybe I'll find greatly reduced on eBay but then I would need to change the speakers, maybe the floor standing Focal's - The French Connection....Wee monsieur,
Yes Popeye, dream on! 🤣

Doug had a 10% sale on over the weekend
My EVO not sold yet
Once sold I’ll be making decisions
Quad Platina back,in the mix too but the ATOLL unbeatable value imho

3510 on radar too. Still uk built hence all over it too…..

 

[RTHerringbone]

Going from an all-in-one amp/DAC/streamer to three separate boxes? Which new bits have you settled on?

Sounds like the amp is up in the air but you've got the other two sorted?

Oh, I thought the build was Malaysia but a Google suggests the case and boards are sourced there but it’s assembled here - but it’s great wherever it’s from!

there is an argument i could use the EVO150 as a PRE to then get a suitable A/B power stereo amplifier to get the sound sig i want out of my TX9s..........?
the ATOLL IN300 Power looks good as does the 3510 Power Stereo.

If you keep upping your budget, your options are endless 😁

Yes, it is getting interesting isn't it..... 🙂
Cannot comment further on anyone that can afford to use an Evo 150 as a preamp.... 🙂
