Integrated suggestions

@secretguy It's just a general guide. 

I continue to have not the slightest inclination to trade in my Primaluna Integrated. It delivers beautiful sound. When the knobs get glitchy I open the thing up and spray Deoxit on the contact points.

A friend has one of those gigantic Vincent things that sounds pretty good, and hey...it has tubes! For about what a good integrated costs you can use what I use...the well regarded Schiit Freya, an astonishingly great sounding preamp with 2 balanced inputs (and others) for your enjoyment along with other amazing features, and that thing runs to a Pass XA-25 (one of the top 5 amps anywhere for any price)...total a little over 6 grand for those, and Class A for days. More fun than an integrated including the Pass INT-25 which is 7600 bucks with 3 inputs, none balanced. Do that...be like me...come on...*sniff*...

@edcyn  If you read my initial post you'll see the reason i am selling my current integrated is not because "I fancy a change..."

I own/run an Octave V80SE integrated with a super black box. I’ve not personally heard the Lab12 Integrat4 from Greece, but it’s reviews have been stellar and it retails for about $5k. I was going to give this one a serious look for a secondary system.
