All in One amp up to $7k

I have been an owner of two Audiomat tube integrated amplifiers for over twenty years. I first bought the Audiomat Arpege and LOVED it. A few years later I had an opportunity to buy an Audiomat Prelude Reference MKII that had been a demo. I’m still using the Audiomat Arpege in the TV system. I think it’s had one repair in 20 years and that was the volume knob. I recently moved on from the Prelude for no really good reason. It had only one repair in the same lengthy period and it was for the same issue, the volume knob, an inexpensive repair. I had just heard Luxman tube separates each selling for well over double the price of the Audiomat Prelude. If you look for reviews on Audiomat products you will find them uniformly outstanding. Here is one on the Aria, pure Class A.

@audioman58 i already have a separate set up- streamer, DAC and amp.

i hear you in the Hegel. I will look at that and reach out to the person you mentioned.

@megabyte usually I would be able to ship and amp to the UAE from the US. I have done that a few times. This particular purchase was on USAM from an individual. This means no proper invoice like a shop issued. US custom rules require for any shipped package to have a proper invoice to ensure that a prohibited item is not being being shipped out and to also evaluate the cost.

@echolane will look into that.

Good luck , the New 600 Hegel I believe can stream has a decent dac and you can plug in a  external Nas or HD  tell Anthony Perrotta Consultants Paul L 

sent you .

Cambridge Evo 150 is top notch and less than half your budget. I’ve been running mine for a couple of years now.  It replaced gear that retailed for  just above your target.
