tube pre & ss amp integrated


Been tooling around youtube , I know but what else is there now ? Very cautious !

Wife has fallen for  Mcintosh MA352 . I must have  tubes some place in there , she likes ss, seems to be the best of both worlds  for us . 

I am wondering what would compete with mac soundwise?

Will be using Klipsch Forte 4's with it .

Thank you and be safe.

I’ve been working on a Class A SS amp. Plan is to add a tube front end to it in the same chassis. 
 

Like the idea of a really good one box solution, and have been wanting to have a hybrid integrated.

 

The Croft Phono Integrated has been on my wishlist for a while. Simple little one box solution. 

 

 

I use Vincent pre / power amplifiers, class A up to 10 watts, however they are no longer available.  The hybrid works for me, Unison Research do some nice ones, better than Mac's, IMO.

You might consider one of the Nelson Pass amps. First Watt SIT - 3, or the Pass XA-25. My favorite is the SIT-3. I understand the F-8 is very good also, but don’t own one.
