Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k


It's a crowded market in the under $5k arena...

Let's hear which integrated amp surprised you and maybe even had you shaking your head in disbelief. 

Watch the first response be, 'no $5k integrated is that good' blah blah blah. You know how it is, lot of old fogeys on here that are done censoring themselves and take it out on the thread.

Also, if I've missed the cutoff and there's just this $6k or $7k amp that is worth consideration, feel free to mention.

I haven't heard a ton of integrated but one I really liked was the LTA Z10 integrated I think it's just under $5k.

+1. Easily drive Focal Aria 906s, rated at 89.5 dB sensitivity, to loud enough volume. Said to be engineered to work each tube at moderate effort for longer life. Rock-solid construction.
I auditioned the McIntosh MA352, Prima Luna EVO 400 and the Line Magnetic 805iA.  I have DeVore Fidelity O/96.  I purchased the Line Magnetic.  I felt it had the best Soundstage and brought out everything, instruments and voices the best.  For me it was the clear winner.
I have Peachtree Nova 300 had a Nova 150 and think these amps deserve some love. 
Used…

Pass Labs Int-30a
Pass Labs Int 25 (pushes the 5k mark even used)
Hegel H390 and H190
Simaudio Moon i7

New but slightly less overall…

Parasound Hint 6 or Halo, Hint is a tad better
Peachtree Ints are good to, but geared a bit more toward digital IMO
