Yep go listen to a bunch of amps in your price ranges.
So many choices and tons of opinions in forums.
A great minimalist integrated?
So, I'm on the hunt for an integrated amp. Power rating is not of paramount importance though 50 watts into 8 Ohms would be a good minimum. What is of paramount importance to me is that there be no DAC, streamer, or phono stage built in. I might be willing to accept a headphone jack, but really I am looking for great sound, well-built, and minimalist (or "purist" as some might put it). I'm not too concerned about the particular class of the unit and as far as price goes, let's say up to $7,000 maximum. Suggestions???
Thanks in advance.
