What Integrated Amp do You use

I was quite happy with my vintage mono tube amps, but wanted to try something ’new’, that had it’s own remote volume for source > amp and pass thru for any source with it’s own volume control.

My choices were limited by needing 16 ohm taps. I researched, took a chance on Cayin A88T, (only it’s mk1 version has 16 ohm taps).

This article convinced me to try it, certainly glad I did, it is dead quiet except the beautiful music it amplifies. I wish it had external bias controls. mk2,3 have that.

Integrated: for me, remote volume, mute, and I wish it had remote balance from my listening spot. remote input is dumb IMO. I’d rather have a smaller remote fit my hand better. And, if no sound degradation, like my mother's new TV,  radio frequency remote, so I didn't have to aim the infrared beam, that would allow more placement options.

I had a Parasound Halo Integrated for 2 years and moved on to a McIntosh MA6600 integrated amp 4 years ago. It’s my last integrated.  

Aesthetix Mimas. The best integrated amplifier I have ever heard. It has the option of adding an internal DAC and a phono stage. I upgraded from an Ayre AX-7e and almost bought the newer Ayre EX-8 but the Mimas hit all of my listening priorities better. 

Raven Nighthawk Mk 3. Everything I wanted and nothing I don't. Glad to see you went for the Blackhawk MC. Looking forward to your assessment and comments.

I use the very underrated Coda CSIB integrated amp just bought 
3 months ago with VH Audio Adam capacitors
in the preamp section.
for $7 k there is no Integrated out there that that offers so much 
most integrated amps have a 750 va or smaller power transformer 
the Coda 3,000 Va and it’s potted for lowest noise over
80k in capacitance a pure class A preamplifier section 
40 matched  Bipolar transistors on the output and mosfet,fet on the inputs, and a Zburr Brown 100 step electronic volume attenuator ,not a cheap Alps pot that really degrades the sonics but is still used by many mfg  because they are low cost .
Coda made in U.S.A  10 year warranty , great current review in Stereo times and 2020 best of , 3 choices for power output 
I have the lowest in power but highest in pure class A 18 wpc 
150,300,600 wpc .
