Tube integrated amps

You might want to consider the Manley StringRay, as it is a great little tube integrated. I have one in my second system and it's great!. If you vinyl you will need a phono amp, I'm trying the MF XLPs and it sounds pretty good.

I am using an EAR 859 integrated amp. They occasionally appear on the used market for approximately 2K.

I'm going to guess that the Dynaudio 1.3SE are at least 89db effecient, and if so Melody I2A3 got a great write up by Ebaan at 6moons, enough so that I'll eventually give that a try myself.

If you like a sound that is fast, transparent, w/ excellent PRAT, tone & timbre than the Audo Zone AMP 1 gaincard is excellent choice...- but only 1 input.

A lot of nice integrated's in that price range, good luck.

Sugarbrie, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the DAR a hybrid integrated and not a tube integrated amp? Also, aren't you a Blue Circle dealer?

Nycjdc, you may want to check out a Cary SLI-80 Signature. I have no affiliation with Cary.

I would ask Dynaudio how they feel about tube amps for their speakers, they tend to be 4 ohm speakers which is not necessarily a deal breaker but is less than ideal for a tube amp, unless it is a very smooth impedance across the bandwidth - I don't if it is or isn't, but not all speakers match up ideally with tubes.
