Analog integrated amp recommendation


I need help researching for a new integrated amplifier w/o digital circuitry.
$7500 retail limit at least 100watts,no phono stage/tone controls preferred.
Solid State not tubes
Something like Sim audio moon 700i
without a $14,000 price tag.
Prefer neutral presentation,definitely nothing warm.
Already tried Bryston & Arcam
Close yet felt could do better/

I like the Sophia Electric. They don't have integrated DAC but I would consider getting one separately. More options,,,,best amp.....best DAC.


I just went from a tube integrated (Audio Note Oto Signature) to a ss: Brinkmann Vollverstarker. Very musical and i love the minimalistic design.
Burmester 032, neutral with tone towards the warm, full-bodied sound and richness of details.
I liked the Electrocompanient series integrated amplifiers. I paired the ECI 3 with Martin Logan SL3's and the sound was a bit stringent / cool side but with the right equipment and cables these amplifiers are excellent.  There are also good deals to be had on Ebay.

I would suggest the Hegel H360. I have owned a couple now and they have plenty of power, with very good SQ.
the new Mcintosh  integrateds would also be a good choice.

Have Musical Fidelity M1Vinl phono preamp
I’m discussing purchase with seller of Sim 700i int amp.
I prefer a minimalist approach thus no interest in McIntosh
there is a 700i listed under your price now - no connection to seller - also Pass, Plinius
Mark Levinson No. 585, one just sold used for ~$6K, or just get a new one and be done.
Take the price down to $4k, get acupwr.com step up transformer or have the distributor switch it to American voltage and you will be perfectly fine.

after trying the Bryston- Pass Labs would be the next step up.

Keep me posted as you listen to these different Integrated amps.

Happy Listening!

What about a Pass? I think they had a integrated 150 that went for $7500.00 I would check with Reno Sound as they carry all the used , closeouts and refurbished Pass equipment as well as new Pass equipment.
New or used doesn’t matter

I have Sony SSNA2ES speakers
Listen to Rock,Classical & Jazz
Black Sabbath,Sonny ’Rollins & Dvorak 7th at the moment.

@monkandmozart  New or used? What speakers do you use? Music preference?
