I'd second the post above on the VAC 160. I have had mine (incl optional MC Phono-stage and Balanced inputs) for about 3 months now and can't think of what else I would want to see and hear in an integrated that this one does not have.

I am very happy with the synergy of this amp, in my simplified system of Tannoy DC10T speakers, TW Acustic Raven One table for analog and ARC DAC8 for digital.

Dan,
I agree.
I will never let my Snappers monoblocks leave my house.
Reminds me that I have to try them back in my main system....
Besides, they look much better in person.

If memory serves, the first post in December did not specify "tubed", but I may be incorrect in recalling that...

Anyway, for tubed integrated I would go with the Octave V70SE or Octave V80....
