Best Integrated Amp (for me)
I recently upgraded to a Pro-Ject Classic turntable. I currently own KEF LS50 bookshelf speakers and a Nikko NR-719 tuner (from the 1980s).
I'm interested in upgrading to a better-quality (and nicer-looking) integrated amplifier to pair with my turntable and speakers. I love things that are really simple and classic-looking (but of course I also want it to sound great). I'm looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Another would be the PS Audio Sprout. Here is a link to a recent review, but he also provides alternatives which, in his opinion, sound better overall in that general price range. https://youtu.be/qEASsQ06SCQ |

"...Nikko NR-719 tuner..." Just to be clear that model Nikko is a receiver not just a tuner I think (Nikko made a couple of nice tuners back in the day, btw). The LS-50s like a little juice so you want a powerful integrated amp. I'll suggest my normal pick, the Musical Fedelity M3si but better yet would be a M5si. You would be very happy with those. |
Try and find a pre owned Belles Aria like this https://www.google.com/search?q=belles+aria&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=isvn&source=... Enjoy JohnnyR |
