Favorite integrated amp?

I`m researching integrated amps for my first system (either tubes, hybrid or ss). My budget is fairly open but let`s say...$1200-$1700 (used). I`d like some in-put from those of you who use int. amps in your system. I`d also like to hear what the rest of your gear is and why you like your particular amp.

I enjoy "old rock"...jazz...choral, and some classical.

I'd also recommend the B60 -- it's a fantastic sounding amp that'll drive most speakers exceedingly well. Very warm, solid bass and an amazing mid-range. Combined with a tube cd player (Hearts, or an Ah! Tjoeb) and you're in audio nirvana.

Consider Primare A30.1. It's a very good integrated amp for the price.

if your considering the 3a's you might also want to consider the Tyler Ref Monitors or Linbrooks as they are close competitors as well as the JMR Trente and Offrande's which have come down CONSIDERABLY in price over the last years as they have new lines out, yet are great speakers.

Best of luck.
I think most of the bases have been covered above, although it does seem there are an awful lot of tubed suggestions!

for solid state you might want to consider:
Sim i5, Plinius 8200

first and foremost you should let us know what you need:
remote control?
HT pass through?
phono stage?
