Please suggest SS stereo integrated amp

This is not for primary use, but still, the better is performance the more desirable is your suggestion. Bass cutoff is only to 80 Hz in this application.

Required:

Reliable
Remote mute OR at least three remote inputs
SS only, no valves
Remote input selection OR remote polarity switch
One or more balanced input OR remote polarity switch
Volume control (prefer remote but not required), no other controls required, really, none
50W minimum @ 8 Ohm, 6 Ohm minimum, easy phase angles, IOW only one easy load requiring only moderate current

I only mention the remote polarity switch in case of an odd unknown amp. Maximum new SRP about $750. Used OK. Please do suggest something unheard if you suspect it worth considering.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean in your requirement list, like if "remote input" is 12v trigger or analog inputs. Most amps provide a mute. In your budget new you're looking at Cambridge Audio or NAD both would have a variety, I lean toward Cambridge as the more reliable. There's also Marantz, if you could find a model to meet your needs, probably the most reliable of the 3.

Since your in the "industry" too, why don't you just contact John Casler and work out a deal on a Nuprime IDA-8? Otherwise what Mr. P said plus Yamaha.

To what number to do you refer in my list of requirements? I just re-read the list. I'm curious which number you imply can be confused with a remote trigger.
