Recommendation for a 300b Integrated amp

Cary, Manley, Wavac.. Alright, who did I miss?"

Those are all good ones. I think a couple of the Asian companies make them as well. I forget if Audio Note makes integrateds. Although I'm pretty sure they do.

Another option you may want to consider is just getting a really good power amp with a high quality passive volume control. If you are willing to buy used, you can probably get the same amp I have, a VAC 30/30. It sounds incredibly good and it has tons of power, considering its just 2 300b's per channel. It easily drove to normal listening levels, in a medium size room, Martin Logan SL3's, ProAc 2.5's, Vandersteen 2's and 1's, and now my Wilson Cub's. If you're in the market for an amp like this, you just can't go wrong.

Why not stay with an Allnic integrated 300B amp?

Good suggestions above. I'd strongly consider the Audio Note Kit 300b SET with the upgraded double C core output transformers. You can have it built by Digital Pete if you don't want to build it yourself. Roxy54 has this amplifier and says its excellent sounding. His was built by Pete. The VAC REN 30/30 is a very good amp but is push pull. It will be a bit different from a SET presentation. Not saying better or worse but a different sound presentation. Just depends on what you're looking for. In your price range you have many good choices.

My thoughts exactly Larry! You own one, why don't you give him the model number? T-1500. It looks sweet to me!!

Wow! just noticed a Viva 300b PSET for sale on this site. I hardly ever see these available.Viva amplifiers have very stout power supplies and very good transformers.Interesting.
