Integrated

Need some advice. I want to get a good audiophile integrated amplifier for my system. Currently using a cary sli80 with some thiel cs3.7 speakers. I'm trying to decide between pass labs int 150, jeff rowland contenuam 500, or mark levinson 383. Haven't heard any of the amps but I've read a verity of reviews on them.need some advice on witch one to get.any feedback would be appreciated thanks.

I would stick with the Cary. Add a tube DAC or CD player.

@johnnyb43 as a Thiel CS 3.7 owner i can assure you that the best choice for the them is the Gryphon Diablo 300, if you are patient try to find a used one.Regarding integrated this is the best long term investement for Thiel CS 3.7s.Cheers.

It comes down to budget as well..I had the same setup for my thiel 3.7 ..cary sli80 and loved the results. .drove them with a mcintosh mc7270 and a cary slp and it was really good. .Liked the results I got with hegel h360 the most never tried pass or rowland. .best of luck.
