A little over budget, but Coda CSIB might be worth a look.
Integrated suggestions
Hi all, for personal reasons I need to sell my $17k tube integrated & would have to replace it with something much cheaper - around $4k, maybe $5k...
I only mention the price of my current amp so you're familiar with the level of performance to which I am accustomed.
It would need to have at least one balanced input, line only is fine, at least 30W PC, any class is OK as long as it offers exceptional performance for its price point! Tube or SS. Capability to run 4ohm speakers.
Any suggestions...?
I know there are many but you guys may suggest something I may not consider.
Thanks.

For ~$5k the Simaudio Moon 340 is an excellent integrated. You can get the onboard DAC and phono stage, which are both very good. For the price, it’s hard to beat. https://simaudio.com/en/product/340i-x-integrated-amplifier/

Not sure what your speakers are but Hegel has a warm sound. Plenty of power for your 4ohm speakers. I would look at the H190 in that price range. Also, you may consider the all analogue Naim NAIT XS3. Great looking slim line integrated amplifier that at 70 watts/channel of class AB is impressive . I have a pair of 4ohm Monitor Audio Gold 100 5g that sound great with both amps. Good luck on your search! |
+1 on the Krell K300i (XD). This is my integrated and it replaced my PrimaLuna HP Dialog. I liked both, but the Krell is much better sounding in my system driving Exstatic electrostatic speakers. It has all the input options you are looking for. It should be in that $5-$6k range for a nice used one. |
