Suggest a tube integrated for me . .

What kind of speakers do you have and what are their basic specs; ie, impedance, sensitivity?

Recently sold a 60-hr Pathos Classic One MkII ... wonderful amp, beautiful aesthetic appeal, and never let it break-in fully before selling it. Had, and still have in stored condition, a Sophia Baby integrated I used for comparison. The Pathos is BY FAR the superior of the two, but the Sophia showed ME, which is not to say that it would prove true for anyone else in particular, the way I needed to go. Sold the Pathos, continued with the Sophia, and then upgraded with another company. Have not yet sold the Sophia, for whatever reason, and may never use it again, but I do know I won't be going back to SS. Check out the PrimaLuna or Cayin amps. Of course, Sophia makes great amps, too. The S Baby is TOTALLY black without signal, absolutely zero hum at -95dB, and 10 watts class A/channel. Clearly, there is a sacrifice involved, but NONE AT ALL when you consider what you pay to pick up a great used Sophia.

I wouldn't fool around with the hybrids, but that will depend multiple factors, not the least of which will be the impedance of your speakers.

Check out the Aronovaudio.com website for the Aronov LS-960I, and you can usually pick up on Audiogon in the $1200 or lower price range, a splendid value. If you prefer to be sold by reading a professional review, there is an enthusiastic review on the site. You have picked a "sweet spot" in the price to performance spectrum so expect a bunch of fine alternatives, both used and new.
I am not sure what the factory direct retail price is currently so I mentioned the approximate Audiogon used price.

I am happy with the ASL AQ1001DT with stock tubes. I will upgrade the input tubes later on. But for the price it gives the best attributes to solid state and tubes.

How big is your room? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you need a phono stage built in? Is a remote a must have?
