Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d

The cronus mag ii is an outstanding amplifier .I highly recommend it . Very detailed with accurate imaging .  I’m fed up with buying nos tubes . Its a total crap shoot. I am going to stick with new after this. New mullards sounded woody with rolled of highs . So far so good with gold lions. Some nos tubes are horribly microphonic which you never get told about  . If you sneeze you can hear a “tink” in some of them .  

Icon Audio Stereo 40  Very well regarded in Europe

Triode TRV-88SR   Boutique Japanese brand, excellent quality and sonics.  Made in Line Magnetic Factory

-I own a Triode TRV P845SE  /  Stereo 845 amp.  Sublime.

Out of the box:

Restored Fisher X1000 Integrated Amp.  EL-34 output tubes and about 40wpc.   It has a phono stage, but it also sound wonderful.   $3k is about correct to purchase one in good condition, then have it restored.

There are also various Luxman  tube integrated amp models that may be worth investigating.

Rogue Cronus Magnum III

All interesting suggestions.  One I like a lot is a Coincident Turbo 845 SET integrated.  Obviously 845 power tubes, with 300B’s providing 28 class A SET watts, but more importantly 500+ Jules so it has gobs of reserve power for loud transients.  Used price $3k-$4k.

I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP, paired with Revel F208.  It is a great match, the system sounds fantastic.  You could get a similar result with the Primaluna dialogue for under $3k used.  In fact, being slightly lower in power may give it a bit more finesse.
