You have a wonderful system and the perfect integrated would be the Audio Note Cobra. We have had one for awhile, replacing our Quad amp when it finally died. The Cobra runs our 45-year old Quad ESL-57s perfectly, and they are picky about type of power. The Cobra is very musical, always pulling you back to listen a bit more.
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
I'm at a point where I'd like to try a tube integrated amplifier.
I currently have a Luxman L-509x driving a pair of Audio Note AN-K/SPx SEs.
I use a Marantz SA-KI Ruby CD/SACD player and a Technics SL1200Mk2 and AT-33SA LOMC for sources.
I also use a Rythmik E15HP/PEQ3 subwoofer to fill in the bottom end.
I listen mostly to jazz, classic rock at low to mid-level volumes, and my budget would be around $4k-ish used or new.
So, I'd like to get some recommendations for an integrated that would pair well with the AN-Ks. Subwoofer connection mandatory either pre-outs or compatible for speaker level connection. Phono pre inputs for MC desired, but optional.
No hybrids, high power not needed. No headphones either. A remote would be nice, but I could suffer without one.
TIA
