Sad to say I need a new amp…

I've only heard the Rega Brio within your target items - a very solid entry integrated amp.

It's important to balance budget and any future upgrades into your selection.  If you are merely looking to have an amp within the current system a PS Audio Sprout or other all in one like the NAD 3020 could be a good fit.

Another poster stated NAD products break after their warranty - that's not my experience and my stereo is on most of the time as I leave music on for my dog when I'm not home.  

It seems like there is a lot of maintenance and expense to maintain a tube amp.  Still not sure why some choose a tube amp over solid state.  I believe they sound warmer.  However, who would want to keep up with buying replacement tubes.  My son is thinking about buying a tube amp and I think I might talk him out of it.

Yes, the little Decware amp would likely sound great with my record system speakers….. just checked Decware’s waiting list… 1,400 orders !

This is why some prefer tubes. There is not anymore maintenance on a tube amp and a solid state amp. Tubes last a lot longer than you might think!!

Often times there will be smoke when a tube amp goes, even when it can be easily repaired.  Some tube amps may require more maintenance, in the form of tube replacement, but, they are far less prone to fatal damage than solid state gear.  So many solid state devices are unrepairable, because the transformer or chip is no longer in stock, or because they are too complicated to make it practical to hunt down the problem.  

I have not had any repair issues, including replacing worn tubes, in more than fifteen years with my current gear.  A lot depends on the specific model--type of tubes it runs, how hard it runs the tubes, and quality of parts and build, so here is no way to generalize, but, to me, the sonic benefits make owning tube gear worthwhile.
