Integrated suggestions
Hi all, for personal reasons I need to sell my $17k tube integrated & would have to replace it with something much cheaper - around $4k, maybe $5k...
I only mention the price of my current amp so you're familiar with the level of performance to which I am accustomed.
It would need to have at least one balanced input, line only is fine, at least 30W PC, any class is OK as long as it offers exceptional performance for its price point! Tube or SS. Capability to run 4ohm speakers.
Any suggestions...?
I know there are many but you guys may suggest something I may not consider.
Thanks.
If you prefer a more neutral sound this Octave V40SE is very highly regarded and well worth a look… If you’re looking for maybe a little more tube goodness and are open to buying used I think this Audio Hungary X200 could also be great, and I believe the seller offers an in-home trial period that’s really great to have… https://www.ebay.com/itm/225597593896 Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
Ha. I was a quantitative analyst/market strategist on Wall Street and did quite a bit of multiple regression analysis so yes, it makes perfect sense to me. Just make sure you account for autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity 😉. Seriously though, what Octave amps have you had and what do you think of them, and what did you end up replacing them with and why? They’ve always been high on my radar so I’m very interested in your thoughts, impressions, and comparisons if you’re willing to share. |
