Best Integrated for the Money

I've had several integrated amps over the years and currently like the Qinpu A-1.0x - their A-8000 is supposed to be even better sonically but does not have a remote volume. As far as American integrated amps go one of my favorites is the Rowland Concentra.

The Antique Sound Lab DT 1001 is a real bang for the buck. With nos tubes this amp is really quite something. Many are sold here on Agon for $600.00 or so.

I tried the Aerials with a number of amps. The result with a Symphonic Line Kraft-something (integrated) was very good -- excellent control of the spkr (I actually didn't much like the spkr until I tried that integrated).

Unfortunately, the Symphonic Line is expensive afaik (but maybe available used at 3k?)
