just curious Jcbach, but your link sent me to 'Applied Thermodynamics' site. I hated Carnot in college!
To all others, thanks for the suggestions. I was considering models from Rogue,Cary,Manley and now Unison, Audiomat and VTL! Anyone direct have experience with the Cary SEI and STL? The Manley? The Rogue?
Can anyone educate me on the differences between SET, triode and ultralinear? I know I should be doing the research myself, but for now I'm trying to sneek in some of this stuff before my boss catches me!
I'm real happy with Cary SLI80. Probably $1800 used. High quality build and sound and look too, switchable between triode and ultralinear.

i bought an Unison Research SR1 hybrid integrated amp about 2 months ago..i can not be happier with the performance...i suggest you add it to your list...it is much better than the Unico...by comparison, Unico seems lifeless and boring...just my opinion in my setup...

good luck!
Aronov Audio 60 watts per channel integrated amp under $2000 used. Natural, extended range performance with special
ability to allow best possible bass of any tube amp in this price category. Dual volume controls optimize sound
quality, and soundstaging, but an inconvenience in the service of great sound. Be warned that tubes done right become addicting, and you'll become a believer in the adage that tube watts are mightier than transistor watts.
