Cheap class A intergrated power.....

If you're talking separate pre/power, then the Monarchy or of course Pass labs Aleph series are a great choice. I use an Aleph 3 and it will have to be peeled from my grasp on my deathbed. Both are to be found at good prices in the used adverts

Hi phasecorrect,
I refered to your posts prior to purchasing my Europas, so would like to return the favor. I have recently replaced a solid state system with Dodd Audio preamp and 8watt stereo amp and its driving the GMAs beautifully. Gary Dodd makes a series of amps that have a built in voloume control so can function as an integrated. I highly recommend Gary and his products and particularly as a great match for the Europas.
My system (previously Morrison ELAD to Pass Labs Aleph 3) which was too bright and grainy when fed by a Mac computer for source via a USB to RCA interface, is now so listenable, enjoyable, even without a DAC (scott Nixon tubedac). when DAC is inline I dont miss my Jolida CDP, or solid state equipment at all. Whats more the typical criticism of tube amps (and the reason I have shyed away) ie the lack of extension in the lows and highs, DOES NOT APPLY here. I have better, deeper, more controlled bass and better, more enjoyable highs with the Dodd 8wpc stereo amp than I ever did with the 30wpc aleph.
take care

Very cheap alternative is 70's kenwood or kenwood trio models like the ka7100/ka9100 etc these go for hundreds of dollars and probablly have dirty coontacts but they did sound great. These aren't related to current kenwoods they are more related to accuphase. features= pure class a, dual power supplies and dc circuitry etc . Audio Classics are very good people and I purchased my new c2200 + mc2102 from them and they are always ready to help and service your purchase.
