Best integrated amp up to $6000?

Prefer tubes. Like detailed, transparent sound, 3 D holographic soundstage. Mostly listen to jazz small ensembles and acoustic music(piano and Guitar).Thank you!

It included a fine DAC. I was blown away by the speed and liquidity of the unit. Simply fabulous, well worth considering. Mark
