Sorry to hear of your condition. Have strength, have courage and above all have faith.
Which integrated amplifier .
I will be giving my daughter my audio system soon . You see , I've been fighting with lung cancer for the past 7 years .
Recently my oncologist told me he has exhausted all possible treatment options available and even though they have slowed the growth they haven't stopped it .
So he deemed me incurable . That being said , I'm preparing everything , leaving my audio system to my daughter .
Doc says its called sarcoma and that its one of those type of cancer dificult to treat . Enough of that . So I'm preparing myself . I wouldn't like to give my daughter my audio system as it is , Its to complicated and she knows nothing of it . She loves the way it sounds but knows absolutely nothing of stereo hardware .
That being as it is , to simplify I was thinking of trading in my preamp and amp for a decent sounding integrated . What complicates things a bit is that my speakers are kind of power hungry , Magnepan MG12 , so the integrated has to be a high current design .
My present amp which Im willing to trade is a Mcormack DNA 125 . It's great with the maggies as it pumps out up to 65 amps of current making. my maggies sing .Preamp is a Elekit TU-8500 tube preamp with all the mods installed including upgraded capacitors in line stage and resistors in phono stage .
So anyone know of a low cost integrated of high current , capable of moving Magnepan MG12 ? I would really apreciate any suggestion .
I know there are some excellent units in the market but they are all very expensive and for someone living with social security , well , you get my drift . One unit I was looking at is from rogue audio but if possible for simplicity of use Solid State would be better for my daughter.
Can you imagine ! I got to sit down with her and explain how to use the turntable , connect everything . What goes where . A integrated would simplify things . Thank you guys for your suggestions in advance . God bless and stay safe .

I agree with phcollie. Another option might be the Outlaw RR-2160. Regarding your health, I can't tell you the name of the institute in Germany, which offers cancer treatments with "juicing"? Sounds flaky but their survival rate is very high. I have been told to avoid sugar when there is cancer. God bless and I hope you can find a cure. |
I would look for an integrated with Streamer/Dac/Phono included. The Maggies require so much room I would likely sell the existing system as it all ties together and not really suited for your daughter. Then look for an efficient floor stander speaker to go with. If you buy lightly used gear, you could out the door under $3k. Your gear is worth double that I would think. Godspeed for a recovery! Lourdes? |
An integrated that works very well with Magnepan speakers is the Peachtree Nova220 SE. Every great review for this amp was done with Maggie’s up to and including the 3.7’s. It has a built in DAC also. I recently heard it with a Bluesound Vault streamer and Maggie 1.7’s and it sounded really good. The Rogue Sphinx also sounds great with Maggie’s. Good Luck and keep up the fight! |
