What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?


Hey all, I'm feeling sinful for running my Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated all summer long.  It pumps out modest heat but it does push the A/C to run longer and all that seems wasteful. 

Thing is, I want to keep life simple and within my means right now. So, I'm thinking the budget needs to be ~$1k new/used.  Here's my setup now: 

  • Primaluna integrated
  • Klipsch Forte III loudspeakers
  • Manley Chinook phono pre
  • Technics 1200 GAE turntable
  • Kiseki Purpleheart cartridge
  • Bluesound Node (Tidal mostly)
  • Old Rotel CD player
  • Doge Audio Tube DAC
  • Analysis Plus cabling
  • REL T9i subwoofer
Let the recommendations fly!

Do your self a favor and call Dave Thomson at Raven Audio in Texas. Even if you don't buy a Raven integrated he is a wealth of knowledge plus they offer a money back guarantee.  What have you got to lose?  I have owned Raven ----just an outstanding amp..
I think that 255 watts is what the PL is continuously converting to heat.  So about 870 btu's to clear.  That's not insignificant.
NuPrime IDA-8 runs Class D cool with some Class A properties and in your budget range new.  Great reviews.  Best of luck.
