Favorite integrated amp?

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?

I would avoid the Krell 300. I had one. It was very edgey and grainey. Good base control, but the accentuated upper freq. was too much for my tastes.

Correction: The EVS Millennium 1b DAC is the creation of Ric Schultz at tweakaudio.com. Only one DAC per system.
Scott Nixon's Anodyne ATAS DAC is in another system.
I guess all good little audiophiles should be fast asleep at 3 AM, and not trying to be so clever on Audiogon, when too tired to think clearly.

I just picked up the new Krell integrated, the KAV-400xi. Clear, detailed with a controlled and prodigious bass response. This is a huge step up from the separates I was using before. The only other integrated I have heard (still own) is the 25 year old classic, the NAD3020.

Just a note to mention that my error containing posting which preceded the "Correction" above is missing in action. The correction, by itself, is accurately identifying two very different, and listenable, classic (soon to be vintage?) DAC's.
My vote for integrated amp is the Aronov LS960i, with its natural, and musical presentation. Some special attributes are transient speed, dynamics, and ability to enable the finest bass reproduction from any speaker I have paired it with.
To fully realize the quality in your integrated amp, also look into the interconnects, and speaker cables from greggstraley@yahoo.com
For unveiling the three dimensionality or physical presence of the players, and the performance space, together with the kind of fine detailing that makes you believe a musician or singer is right there in front of you, these wires are ridiculously low priced. $120 for interconnects, and $180 for eight foot pair of speaker cables.
They enhanced, or optimized three different systems where I tried them, so not system dependent. There is a version for system where there is any tube equipment in the signal path, as well as a version when only transistor equipment used.
