Pathos or ...

I am looking for an integrated tube amp.
I currently have an Arcam A75amp / Musical Fidelity A5 cdp / Audio Physic Spark speakers with Cardas quadlink interconnect/speaker and power cables.
Listen to mostly vocals, classical and jazz.
I've heard the Pathos classic 1 and really liked it.
Any other ideas on what I should listen to in that price point?
thanks!

I have reviewed both the Classic One MkIII in bridged mode as well as the Ayon Spirit on Dagogo.com

The Pathi arrangement is another thing altogether, a very significant step up from a Classic One in stereo mode.

No, I have not used those tubes, but you should not need to break the bank on tube rolling to obtain excellent sound in bridged mode. Even with stock tubes the sound is excellent.

Domus, Thanks for the compliment. I enjoy sharing info/experiences about equipment to help people assemble systems that will give them something to be enthusiastic about. Let us know what you end up doing.
