Recommendations for a integrated amp

re: Central Valley, you may be a few hours from the Bay Area, at least 6 great shops there. A day very well spent, especially if you do your homework and figure out which shop carries what brand.

@tubeguy76  - I do not recall what model.  Here are two dealers for you to contact:
Mike O'Keefe

HiFi Direct Hackensack NJ   Phone: (973) 943-9899

Steve Mishoe

In Living Stereo NYC NY   212-979-1273

Both can help you and have been in the industry 30+ years

Tell them Peter from Vu Jade sent you.

@parkergetdean Almost like 4 hours where I am at. A day worth of audio auditioning at various places sound like good idea. 

I literally posted something very similar a couple of months ago. I ended up buying a used Muzishare R100 300B 805. I got a GREAT deal from someone close by who bought it because he was curious and wanted to compare to his much more expensive equipment.  He was very impressed and it punches above its weight class considering the price. I love it.  My first tube amp.  I’m digging the clarity of the 300 B tubes. 
If I didn’t find the Muzishare deal I was very close to buying a Cayin Jazz 100. You should also check out Aric Audio. Best of luck. 
 

Late getting to this chain and surprised no one has mentioned Lyngdorf.  I bought a TDAI 2170 for my family room system, bc of the one box solution and built in processer (the room set-up is asymmetrical, furniture, etc....) but that's not where I'm going....when I compared it to my main/basement system (bel canto 3.7dac, SF Line 1, two Gold Note PA-10 amps in mono or BAT VK56), it performed equal to and in some respects better.  Some might say duh, vintagey vs STOA, but nevertheless I imagine the 3400 would suit your needs splendidly.  Can't say how it'd compare to Luxman or Krell which have much more of a following, but something to consider esp if you might benefit from digital processing for room adjustment and option of several different sounding set-ups.
