Name your favorite Integrated Tube Amplifier & why?

ASK:

If interested, and something comes to mind - Please feel free to reply and name your favorite Integrated Tube amplifier & why? 

-----

Thought it might be fun to post the question to Agon members. Maybe the one I missed comes to mind for you. I'm a former owner of a modded Cary SLI-80 Signature too, might need just a little more current/grunt this next time around  :) 

Yes, I DID carefully look over many prior threads and felt it necessary to post a new thread. Nothing stated moved the needle much for me, so trying a new post in 2026.

Speakers:

  • 92.5db sensitivity, 4ohm imp, dual 8" nomex woofer drivers, with air motion transformer tweeter/midrange

Background:

Regretfully I'm considering the journey of selling and collapsing two full sets of my last favorite separates systems (preamps, and amps) back to a single integrated amplifier for space, consolidation, room changes.   

Thanks in advance for your consideration and replies.  Happy New Years yes

ALLNIC T-2000 30th Anniversary - great Sonics, typical from this company. 120 watts per channel of push-pull, pentode power or more than 60 watts SET sounding watts in triode mode; AND pentode/triode switching is “on the fly”.

@decooney - there’s a used ALLNIC T-2000 30th Anniversary at TMR for a great discounted price.  If the it’s performance wasn’t so close/simular to my SS integrated, I’d get this in a heartbeat.

PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated.  
 

Super flexible with power and preamp tubes to fine tune the sound to match system,particularly speakers.  Can use EL34 to KT150 power tubes.

Rogue Audio Magnum 3 Cronos Dark 100 wpc 8 ohms using KT120 or KT88 or kt90. Why? It nicely drives the Focal Micro Utopia BE monitor speakers

Cayin was surprisingly good sounding. Just picked up a Jazz 90 with KT88s. Sounded great as is. Even better with 4 VCap ODAMs and a set of PSVane Summits.

Also trying out a Cary SLI-80HS and CAD-300SEI thanks to a good used deal from TMR. I would have to put Cary on the next level up sonically. Very musical amps.
