Help me select an integrated amp. Options please

Depending on your price range you could get a YBA Integre DT (under 2K) which offer a excellent value (even when bought new)...

If your budget is in the $3K-9K range, get a YBA Passion Integre... the amp cost like $4,500 new. To my knowledge, nothing comes close in terms of details, musicallity and transparency for under $10K.

Make a search for integrated on the discussion forums. You will find some great info...

Best Regards

If you're on a budget, try to audition the Unison Research Unico integrated that's been getting so many great reviews. I also recommend the ARC CA-50 (tubed integrated), which I use with ProAc monitors. Your speakers are very efficient so you may be able to make do with the ARC's 45 watts. There are also usually some very good Classe integrateds for sale used on this site, around $1000 for 100 watts.

There is a used Conrad Johnson CAV-50 for sale on the site right now. I haven't heard this integrated but if it is as good as the tube pre/amp combo's this company makes it should be a glorious music maker.

Have Fun.

The YBA Integre is an excellent choice for a solid state integrated especially if you opt for the phono stage. But remember, the magic really comes alive when you use the optional YBA MC module for the phono section. It is a bit pricey but it will place you in vinyl heaven. And the beauty is it requires no extra cables!
