Paul Candy of 6Moons likes integrated amps - no need to match components, fewer components means better sound, etc. And, you know what? He's right. The retro-fab piece pictured is the Leben CS-300x tube integrated from Japan and is the personal project of a Japanese master tube engineer Taku Hyodo. Only available in limited quantities, Paul Candy seems to like it will enough - with 12 watts a side, he describes the amp as "alive" in ways most simply are not. Price runs $3295. Check out his review for tube rolling and component matching.
