Integrated amp under $5k

I really like my new Atoll IN200 evo I got from Paul at:

https://minnesota.audio/collections/atoll-electronique/products/atoll-electronique-in200-signature-integrated-amplifier

Dual mono design, incredible grip and bass on my ProAc studio 148 slim towers, very mids and highs also.  I got the optional DA100 DAC board that also sounds great.  Very clean design with 120w 8ohms / 200w 4ohms, a clean remote plus one of the very, very few integrated amps that have a switchable tape loop.  It bettered my Audio Refinement separates (for sale, designed by YBA).

I would stay away from previous versions of the IN200 (non-evo models) as they were not as well as reviewed given the IN200 evo was made to very close specs and techniques used in the very well reviewed IN300 by A British Audiophile here:

This one! 

Sansui AU-919 is by far one of my favorite Integrated amps. Don’t tell me about amps that ARE NOT integrated amps. I have plenty of pieces in my collection that fall below $5k, NAD , Audionics, Audire, Phase Linear and more. The AU-919 is one of the most understated integrated amps ever. Slew rate, rise time, band width and more, very few amps have approached the performance of Sansui’s 1990’s standards.

Tight, dynamic, solid and quiet. From silence to dramatic and from distance to presence, very few pieces I’ve heard can match this performance level. Does it drive a 4 ohm load like my Marantz PM-500DC? (another fav) No, but it will shake the neighbors dishes when the 1812 overture cannons fire.

NOT ICE/Hypex but a unique & wonderful Class D from Merus Infineon,the $1500.00 Creek 4040a...

Hi everyone 

I went with the Peachtree Carina 300.  Lightly used (or not at all) from a recent direct purchase for $900 so not a big risk.  Thx for all the reccos.
