recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim)

what are some modern integrated amps in the 5-10k range that offer a heavy dose of PRAT

not seeking anything Naim

for some frame of reference, was recently recommended Rega Aethos and Hegel H590...neither had the PRAT of my NAD C298 power amp (which is not an ntegrated and had some harshness to it)

please and thanks

Is the Yamaha A-S3200 or Bryston B135 known for PRAT?  Simaudio maybe?

I too recommend the A40.  This amp is an incredible bargain—lively, muscular sounding, big soundstage, and plenty of “weight” to the sound.  The built in DaC is very good too.  If you are looking to spend more for more power and a touch more authority, the A40’s big brother, the A100 Titan is killer good too.

My vote is Accuphase E-480. Many new models out the E-480 can be had for well under 10k

Deja Vu audio sells Synthesis and they are all about tube gear with PRAT. You can’t go wrong talking to those folks most likely.

From my recent auditioning Luxman L-509X (or was it Z) is virtually devoid of PRAT. Comparing directly this unit with the Pass and Audio Research integrated really brought this out.
