Switching to solid state amp?
Ralph I had my current amps worked on recently and one of them came back dead.  So not reliable. I will need to replace.

First Watt will be a brand I will take a strong look at.   Thanks for all the great comments.

Thanks for your opinion Audio Doctor.  I owned a Electrocompaniet Cdp in the early 2000’s so I am very familiar with their gear.  Wish I could expand my budget to look at the fine T+A  amp. 
Switching to solid state amp?
Budget up to $10,000 new or used.  My speakers sound great with my current 20 watt amps.  So easy to drive.  11 x 13 small room.  Preamp Deja Vu custom. Listen mostly to vinyl.   Aesthetic and Wells are interesting.

Meant to say SS amp. 
Switching to solid state amp?
Kalali,  good question.  My current amps have been malfuncting for the past year with various problems so a simplistic maintainence plan which SS can represent is very attractive to me right now.  But the question can I live long term with a SA amp?

david_tens  and too blue thanks for your input.  A lot sure love their Pass amps.  Keep them coming. 
Where is Bruce Moore
I owned a dual 70 great amp.  One of the many I should have kept. 
LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago?
30 - 40 years I had a B&O table.  Enjoyed every minute of it.  Also old records still great on my much improved vinyl setup of today.

Any integrated's phono that can compete with $2.5k - $3k outboard one ?
Check out the Vac 160i.  Outstanding phono stage.   The Diablo would also be very good. 
Obscure brands worth considering
