Stanwal suggest the ASR Emitter,its the Exclusive B version you have to check out.
However the B would be at the top end of your budget "used".
It is solid state that doe's not sound like solid state.
The B version has many audio attributes.
DartZeel and ASR seem to be the only manufactures so far that have found solutions that are unique and evolutionary utilizing battery power for their preamp and phono stage.
Like any quality type and brand of amplification , as MOST of you know, mate it well with your speakers and you will be rewarded.
David12 recently I had the pleasure to hear a system based around the Viva Solista, very musical! with impressive looks...
