Integrated amp recommendations

@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.

I don't know if it's "made to order" or if dealers aren't stocking it due to the price.  To stay under your target price for a DAC/Streamer you would have to look at the Lumin T2, the Teac NT-505 or the Aurilac Altair G1.  I prefer the Auralic software package and the other two both use Lumin based software. I own the NT-505 and three Auralic streamers.

just call dan at his 360 number

he or his wife/assistant kristin usually answer - they will give you the straight scoop, and likely can even sell to you direct

i have not kept up closely, did not realize dan is making a new hybrid integrated

if he is making it i am sure it is built beautifully and sounds absolutely wonderful
