What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?


Hey all, I'm feeling sinful for running my Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated all summer long.  It pumps out modest heat but it does push the A/C to run longer and all that seems wasteful. 

Thing is, I want to keep life simple and within my means right now. So, I'm thinking the budget needs to be ~$1k new/used.  Here's my setup now: 

  • Primaluna integrated
  • Klipsch Forte III loudspeakers
  • Manley Chinook phono pre
  • Technics 1200 GAE turntable
  • Kiseki Purpleheart cartridge
  • Bluesound Node (Tidal mostly)
  • Old Rotel CD player
  • Doge Audio Tube DAC
  • Analysis Plus cabling
  • REL T9i subwoofer
Let the recommendations fly!

The issue IS heat concentrated in a small place and the extra cost of cooling. Not “wokeness” which is just a derogatory modern political buzzword for something that someone could care less about but others do often for good reason.

Often followed by being called a “snowflake”.
That Quad amplifier from the first response seems perfect for a summer amp.

It liberates you from the chains of caring for tubes, air conditioning, etc. At least for the summer. Varietas delectat so why not?
noromance: @millercarbon Is the Internet big enough to contain you when you get the Raven and the Moabs? ;-)

Have you seen the movie, Lucy?

I AM EVERYWHERE! Buwahahahaha!

Do your self a favor and call Dave Thomson at Raven Audio in Texas. Even if you don't buy a Raven integrated he is a wealth of knowledge plus they offer a money back guarantee.  What have you got to lose?  I have owned Raven ----just an outstanding amp..
