Which Integrated?

I'm looking for a good quality, 'higher end', integrated amp. I am sick of using cheaper components (READ:nakamichi receiver) that make everything sound soooooo glaringly digital and fatiguing. High end separates are too expensive for me, but I would like to get into that type of higher end sound.

I will be spending about $1200 USD (give or take). So far, I have read about the Unison Research Unico (nice) and the Moon i-3.

I currently run nht 2.5i speakers (which i will be selling in order to downsize - I find they are too big for my room)

Any suggestions? Any comments from users of the aforementioned equipment?

Thanks

Right this moment there is a YBA Integre DT for $895 on the 'gon. Grab it. You will not do better. I just sold mine after 7 glorious years. There is nothing that comes close for the $. Creek? Forgedda 'bout it. Get that Integre and you're off to sonic heaven. You'll probably, after you purchase this baby, want to change your other stuff too.
good luck,

Stephen, that YBA on the 'gon!--It's a killer. Better than Creek and MF. Don't know anything 'bout Unison Research, but I would take book, it sounds better. I, for one, do not like to mess around with demos. They are used and abused. Demo=used,big time. That YBA is built to perfection. Extraordinary workmanship. It's used. Buy it and try it. If it's not happening for you, you can put it back on the 'gon and get your money back. Put it on the aucton block and you'll probably make a profit. That YBA is one gloriously sounding integreated.
