Look into Vincent Audio (Audio Advisor is a dealer). They produce a tube/solid state hybrid that retails at $1000. Might be discounted.
Comparable quality integrated Amplifier.
Hey everyone,
I've got a 20 year old NAD-317 integrated amp which needs replacing, (still useable, but probably not worth throwing much money into). I would like to replace it with something comparable or a slight upgrade as I have been pretty happy with the sound. Any suggestions to a few Integrateds I might look at. Haven't been paying much attention to the audio market for the last 15 years. I have a Cambridge Audio AZUR 640C CD player and for speakers the Paradigm Ref. Studio 80's and a 12" PhaseTechnology sub. I occasionally use a Technics turntable and seperate phono pre-amp so that is not a feature I need on an amp. Sometimes use the musical Fidelity X10-D Buffer.
Thanks for any suggestions. I know there is a lot of good gear out there that sounds way better then the NAD, but I would like to stay under a grand if I can.
