Integrated amp recommendations

@hilde

like quarterbacks who throw the ball, can’t catch it for the receiver

we can provide advice with good intentions, can’t be sure it will be taken

op misunderstands what good tube gear does given his stated preferences.... it’s ok though... there is certainly plenty of very nice ss gear around too for those who just don’t want tubes

tube is not an option due to young child in the house who will be attracted to the light and heat of it...

@acdvd

totally understand on the kids and tubes

you may want to minimize the number of boxes, but if you might consider separates, consider dan wright’s swl 9.0 tube pre (no exposed tubes, all internal within the chassis) and one of his ss power amps... you will get best of both worlds

dan’s gear, his ear, his quality is beyond reproach

good luck!

Since you are familiar with and like Dan's gear have you considered his new hybrid integrated?

I did notice it. have any of you tried it, it looks like its made to order though.
What dac/streamer would you put with it for about $4000.
