I listen only to digital/streamer, so no DAC nor phono stage please.

The Cary SLI-80 with all the bells & whistles (max'd out with factory wiring, caps, switch, hexfred, etc., upgrades) is a terrific integrated amp. One reason I enjoyed mine so much was the ability to switch between triode & UL and roll output tubes (KT88, 6550, KT77, EL34, 7581a.......) with a simple bias adjustment. If you order new from the factory you can choose custom colors like Jaguar red or British Racing green.
