At the conclusion of the review, I had another concern. As much as in enjoyed my time with this amazing integrated amplifier, as much as I want to give it a 10 out of 10, the Konzertmeister and Kapellmeister out yonder on the horizon constantly remind me that it can get even better. That’s always the case with high-end audio reviewing, that it’s foolish to call something the best since you’ll probably find something else you like better in a couple of years. For example, you might conclude that the Meishu has distilled my love and admiration for the Allnic Audio T-1500 Mk. II integrated I’ve been yammering about for the last couple of years. The answer there is simple this: the Allnic costs less than half as much as the Tonmeister, and that’s an important consideration. By the same token, the Konzertmeister and the Kapellmeister, from my limited exposure at this point in time, surpass the performance of the Tonmeister but at a substantial cost. I’m sure there’s some 300B amplifier out there that retails for some ungodly amount and destroys all other amps in its path, but that’s just audiophilia nervosa rearing its ugly little head. If you can’t be with the one you love, in other words.
