The Synthesis Roma 96 integrated has a built in phono stage and a quite decent DAC. This 25 w/ch tube integrated delivers very good sound for the money. Spend a bit more (or find used) and the Synthesis A40 is a better, and more versatile amp.
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
It's a crowded market in the under $5k arena...
Let's hear which integrated amp surprised you and maybe even had you shaking your head in disbelief.
Watch the first response be, 'no $5k integrated is that good' blah blah blah. You know how it is, lot of old fogeys on here that are done censoring themselves and take it out on the thread.
Also, if I've missed the cutoff and there's just this $6k or $7k amp that is worth consideration, feel free to mention.
