Integrated to use as preamp for now?


OK my pre is going into the shop and will take awhile to be fixed. I am looking for a suggestion for an integrated that can be used as a preamp just for the 2 months or so then be converted for use in an office system later. I figure I need 50 watts for the system later but it also needs a decent pre with an out for use inline to my amp. SS or tube doesnt really matter. Like to keep it under $600.

What about a used Peachtree Audio Decco? Should be around $500 and it meets your stated specs.

Audio Refinement? A little laid back but doesn't do anything wrong. Should be available for about $400-$500.
Other "usual suspects" would be Rega, Linn, Creek, Music Hall, or NAD.
within your budget, arcam alpha or a65/75 or music hall 25 should do ya nicely. i'm currently using an arcam alpha 9 as a pre and i like it mucho.
