Suggestions for Amp & Preamp or Integrated for my speakers

Talk to Johnny Rutan at Audio Connection.  He stocks Vandersteen, Belles, and a bunch of other brands too.

NAD should also be considered, such as a C375BEE with 150 wpc and preowned go for <$800. NAD is a step up from Rotel, having owned both. Good phono stage module for both MM and MC can easily be added and user installed for $200.

You are seriously overestimating how much you need to spend. Your speakers were $2000, no need to spend $2500 just to play them.

The Cambridge Audio DAC is more than enough for your setup, it’s very hard to hear any appreciable benefits above that, any noise or harmonics are gonna be at least like 80dB below the signal, so pretty much inaudible in any residential environment.

Stereophile’s John Atkinson stated the Outlaw had a superb phono state, so no reason to spend more than that either.

Spend the extra money on room treatment. $500 in room treatment and $2000 components will sound better than $0 in room treatment and $250,000 components.  
  
Mute your money, just trying to help you more wisely spend it. Like I see people who have $5000 turntables but their amps and speakers combined don’t even reach that, a lot of audiophiles simply don’t allocate their budgets to favor where it matters most, the actual speakers and the room, as they are by far the largest contributors to the sound.

I am using a Mccormak. DNA .5 with a Mcintosh C27 for my 2CE Sigs II and it sounds amazing. The preamp/ amp combo cost me 1500 bucks. i am sure you can find a good combination for that kind of money..

Consider the Cambridge cxa600. Under ur budget and great reviews
