Value Integrated Tube Amps

Do do you really need an integrated?  Take a look at Don Sach's separates.  Great value and great sound.

I may be missing something, but preamp is $2,500, then the mono amps.  It is hard to see a total price for equivalent of an integrated amp.  Seems I can find a used something <$2K

Rogue Cronus Magnum II used = $1.5k done.

Sure you can, but it won’t sound nearly as good.  BTW, Chronus Magnum II is a great suggestion. 

For just a bit more ($2,895) and new, the Cronus Magnum 3 looks like a sweet upgrade from the 2. The CM3 can operate in Triode mode, using an external switch selects between ultra linear (100WPC) and triode (60WPC) operation on the fly.  Plus the CM3 has a new phono section that can accommodate low output cartridges - adjustable loading and selectable gain (44 dB or 58 dB). I haven't heard it yet but it seems like a lot of value at this price point for an integrated.
