My Triad of Integrateds

If they were easier to actually see and hear in the real world and not only on the Internet, Accuphase could qualify.

Yeah, accuphase and the latest Yammies are models I'd like to hear for sure!

Raven Audio Tube amps.  3 levels to choose from.  Outstanding sound that can drive any speakers.

Interestingly absent are Krell, Musical Fidelity, BAT, Plinius, PrimaLuna, Parasound, and Nord.   I’m looking for a high quality <$5k used integrated with HT bypass and subwoofer out; these were the brands I’ve come across...   Of these the Nord looks to be the most interesting as they are reported to sound very class A tube-like, but I’ve not heard one.

I’m thinking I’d prefer a tube pre and SS amp hybrid integrated.

Any thoughts on these?

I have heard the older Musical Fidelity M6 500i at a dealer. It was the best sounding integrated amp I had the pleasure to hear. Dual mono design at 70lbs, I don’t think MF makes an amp like that now. Too bad, it really sounded fantastic.
