Integrated amp with preamp tubes
Hi All,
I'm curious with perhaps downsizing my Bryston 3B3 & VTL 2.5(tube) with a good quality Integrated amp.
Question: Are there integrated amps with a tube pre inside ? Would that be called a "Hybrid" integrated ?
I really like the tube/Solid state combo. I like a little warmth with my music. I'm just kicking tires at the moment. I know many will say that separates are the best way to go, but still curious to do some research on quality Integrated amps.Probably looking at $4000usd(used)
Love to hear some input, thanks in advance.

@moofoo That's a beauty Int amp. Going for about $7800CDN here. I would love to own one. |
And there are also Vincent, Advance Paris and Peachtree. But I do not trust them because of their marketing - they put a couple of tubes under the glass on a front panel, lighting them up with LEDs, like, Look! We have tubes! We are cheap, but your friends will be amazed! Most of the brands I mentioned before do not need to demonstrate what's inside, they can boast of their sound, you know. |
