I definitely recommend looking at an Audio Research I-50. It is simply stunning in its musical presentation and easily within your budget used or as a well worth stretch for a new one. It is built as an audiophile piece of equipment by a well respected company that has helped define what the high end is over the last fifty years. I am impressed once again each time I hear one. It is really a fantastic deal.
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
I'm at a point where I'd like to try a tube integrated amplifier.
I currently have a Luxman L-509x driving a pair of Audio Note AN-K/SPx SEs.
I use a Marantz SA-KI Ruby CD/SACD player and a Technics SL1200Mk2 and AT-33SA LOMC for sources.
I also use a Rythmik E15HP/PEQ3 subwoofer to fill in the bottom end.
I listen mostly to jazz, classic rock at low to mid-level volumes, and my budget would be around $4k-ish used or new.
So, I'd like to get some recommendations for an integrated that would pair well with the AN-Ks. Subwoofer connection mandatory either pre-outs or compatible for speaker level connection. Phono pre inputs for MC desired, but optional.
No hybrids, high power not needed. No headphones either. A remote would be nice, but I could suffer without one.
TIA
