Hi all, I'm seeking advice in purchasing a new integrated amplifier. Max budget is 3K. Slowly upgrading as I get more into the hobby.
Current set up is as follows: Preamp - Cambridge CXA 60 running as pre Amp - Rotel RB 990BX Phono Stage - Musical Surroundings Phonomena ii+ Speakers - Anthony Gallo Reference 3.1 Turntable - VPI Aries Scout Cartridge - Ortofon 2m Bronze Interconnects - Audioquest Diamondback Streamer - appleTV
80% of my critical listening is on the turntable but when I'm reading, have company over, and/or just hanging and don't want to get off the couch out I'll stream over my appleTV.
Presently strongly considering Parasound Halo Hint 6 and Musical Fidelity M6si. There's also a local listing for a Mcintosh MA6500 and a Hegel H3600 that I could probably get for around my budget, although the Hegel would be a bit of a stretch. So any thoughts on those two amps as well would be greatly appreciated.
I listened to an Anthem STR running into Paradigm Persona 7's at Axpona this year, and it was one of the best sounding systems I heard the entire day. Everyone was saying the sound quality was a product of the room correction, but they made a hotel room sound like a concert hall.
Why no mention of the Peachtree Nova 300? I bought one last year and am beyond satisfied, probably the best audio purchase I've ever made. Killer DAC, silky smooth and 300WPC. At $2,300 it's a steal IMHO
