Integrated for W/P8

[audiojan]

I'm currently using a pair of Pass Labs XA60.5 with a PS Audio BHK preamp. Sounds really good, but I wouldn't mind simplifying the system with an integrated. What's the recommendations?

My budget is pretty flexible.... I figure I have about $8k between the Pass Labs and the PSA BHK. There's money I can put on top of that. I don't want to be absolutely crazy, but it's flexible.

You might like the Circle Labs A200 hybrid integrated at that pricepoint ($8995 USD): http://www.circlelabs.eu/a200_en. NOS valve pre paired with a nice solid state power amp section. Extremely well built.

Full disclosure: I import Circle Labs products into North America.

I appreciate it, but I don't think it would work... all my devices are balanced (PSA DirectStream Sr and PSA Stellar phono).

No worries. It does offer an XLR input for, say, the DAC and if you change your mind, I think the phono would be a good fit for one of the single ended inputs.

Excellent amplifier.
