Please help ...integrated amp under $1200

http://http//www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/506-arcam-fmj-a19-integrated-amplifier 

They Rogue Sphinx recommended has been well reviewed and people love it. I hope to hear it one day. I thought I'd mention another; the Arcam FMJ A19. I've really enjoyed mine the past three years.

Check out the review at Soundstage. The reviewer compares  the Sphinx and the A19. It's an interesting read and good example of how two great amps can have different personalities.

I just must mention it because that's what I listen to, and I am quite hard to please. Redgum Audio RGi120. 120 watt/ch/8ohm. There is one here for sale from Canada for $999, perhaps less. The current price new is about $2700 directly from Australia. No DAC or phono stage, though. It does everything well and sounds powerfull, fast and balanced. Not bright, not dark, just right. I will only upgrade it to high level separates or best integrateds like Gryphon Diablo, Ypsilon Phaeton, perhaps VAC etc.

Forgot to mention. The Redgum has passive preamp section, no gain, something which is questionable and depends on your taste. Personally, I don't quite like it despite the gain in transparency and usually run my phono stage thru deck monitor and then to the Redgum. I lose some, very little, transparency but get more full bodied sound. I use very high quality cables.

Thank You all...really love all your passion, expertise and advice...
Just Listened to monitor Silver 8 floor standing paired with an anthem integrated amp which was too pricey for me...speakers first ...now I'll need an amp ...any ideas

Factory refurb Anthem 225 on ebay for $900,  worth a look. No connection to seller.
