Purely analog pre or intergrated amps

Aric Audio

Sure, there are lots out there that are pure analog. The Konus Audio Integrale 2000 is a particularly nice all-analog integrated option in that budget.

You might be surprised to learn that most amps and integrateds are still fully analog. “Class D” is an amplifier topology. The “D” does not stand for digital, and does not indicate any conversion of the incoming signal to 1s and 0s. Some class D amps do convert the signal to digital but the majority do not. The newer NAD integrateds do that if I’m not mistaken, but not the class D Marantz or Cambridge Audios — those are analog.

Yamaha makes some very high quality and great sounding, fully-analog class AB integrated amps within your budget. Check out the A-S2200.

Also, Belles, Sugden, and LFD immediately come to mind. There are many others as well.

My Belles Aria Signature is simply an ‘analog’ preamp (with a phono stage I do not use as I have a separate). No digital.

The Signature is more than 2K though, perhaps the non-Sig hits that price point. I believe you can get the Aria integrated for less than 4k (non-Signature).

Purely analog pre or integrated amps?

there are plenty around, have you tried looking?  half the ones i see on audiogon or us audiomart are 'purely analog'

Thanks everyone for the responses and suggestions so far.  Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough.  I've been looking at the major online retailers such as Crutchfield, AudioAdvisor, etc.

Lots of options out there.  Schiit, Parasound, NAD, Denafrips, Audio Research, etc.  Happy hunting!
