Best integrated, ???

Give the Accuphase integrated amps a try if you can find a way to audition them. The E-408 or the E-530 should both work, depending on your listening level and room size.

Prepare to be impressed if you audition the Aronov LS 960i. They usually run about $1600, used. I don't need a second one, or I would be contacting Audiogon member-dealer Jboeyjus who has one in his inventory of used items for only $1250. Compared to $3600 new, this seems to be a "best buy." I don't agree with his flamboyant business title, which you can read for yourself on his website, but it certainly gets your attention. I have no personal connection, but have followed his ads for a while.
If I can inspire interest in this unheralded, champion tube integrated, then I shall have done my good deed for the day.

Not heard the 5.4's but i am very familiar with a pair of Craffts.Give a listen to the MA6900. I use it with a pair of Studio monitors (18Hz-20Khz)which sound similar to Dynaudio's.The 6900 will surely bringout the bass the Dyns are known for, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly lean mids.Good luck.

Gotta second the Dilly on this one. What is Dilly short
for? Dilly Dally maybe. Back to the thread, the MA6900
is a robust warm and truly wonderful sounding integrated
amp. Can be found on A'gon (occassionly) for about $3k.

Hi,

I recommend you the REGA Mira integated amp version 1999 (The model which has the appearance of a BBQ not the 2000 one) Why? Because the phono preamp is good and the sound is warm, soft and dynamic. Finally, it doesn't cost the earth! About 1300,00$ CDN. I use it with my REGA Planar 25 turntable. The only default of this amp is that it emits a lot of warm. I use a fan and it stays cold. It is build like a tank!
