| Inexpensive Tube Integrated Amp (Hybrid) To Use With Coincident Speakers You might look into a used Cary SLI-80 or elusive disc has a good price on a Cayan Tube Integrated and is well reviewed by Stereophile. http://www.elusivedisc.com/Cayin-A-50T-MKII-Tube-Integrated-Amp/productinfo/CAYA50TMK2/Here is a Prolouge from ... | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used There are a couple of conrad johnson pre-amps currently listed on this site. No affiliation with either seller. CJ is a premier manufacturer of tubed pre-amps and support their products very well. Chuck | |
| Phono stage I recommend the Herron VTPH-2 ! I am using NOS Tele's in mine and it sounds fantastic. Also great support. Chuck | |
| First time tube integrated buy I would consider a Cary SLI-80 very well built with excellent support by an American Manufacturer. Owned one for several years before going to Pass Mono-Blocs. Chuck | |

| Pass x250.8 vs Hegel h4se vs Ayre VX-R I would also recommend Pass. I have a pair of xa100.5's and they are truly excellent sounding amplifiers and a great company.Chuck | |

Both units are tubed so you would have to deal with the heat and maintenance associated with them. http://www.elusivedi... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Within your budget you might want to try a used Cary SLI-80 or if you prefer new Cayin might be a good option. Elusive disc is very good to work with and they sell Cayin.Chuck | |
| Ideas on amp for Thiel I would recommend Pass either the X series or XA series your chaoice based on budget. I wouldn't go any smaller than the X250.x or the xa100,xChuck | |
| First Tube Amp If you wanted to stick to an integrated you could try a Cary SLI-80 or 300SEi both are excellent. With either amp you can tube roll if you like.CHuck | |
| McIntosh MA5200 hum As a diagnostic tool only I would try a cheater plug on the amp to see if the hum disappears. If it does then it sounds like you have a ground fault issue and perhaps running a dedicated circuit to your system may help.Chuck | |
| speaker cable prices Try these I use his interconnects and they are excellent....Chuckhttps://www.dysonaudio.com/ |
