I second Macrojack's recommendation on the Onix SP3 integrated amplifier. I also have a Naim integrated amplifier and the Onix SP3 has the same pace, rhythym and timing of the Naim, which is quite good. Switching to the Onix, I got everything I love about Naim audio gear along with tube smoothness (not bloom), a well defined soundstage and a bit more body to the music. This has to be the ultimate bargain in tube amplifiers right now.
decent integrated to replace NAD 3400
I need to replace my integrated in my second system - which I now have in Houston (Katrina New Orleans transplant)My main system is back home waiting my return in late May
My main system is Audio Research LS5 and D200
Any recommendations on a reasonably priced (800-1300)integrated (or separates) for a second system. I don't want to rob the bank as I have a lot of repairs to do once I get home.
The integrated would interface with an audio aero prima and B&W Matrix 2's.
I've heard good things about Creek and Plinius
would prefer something warm and resolving
