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!

https://www.marantz.com/en-us/product/amplifiers/pm8006 I had a Marantz PM8005 that I really enjoyed for several years before upgrading to tube. The current model is the PM8006 at $1100. I would check to see if you can find a used PM8005 or PM8006 somewhere. I sold my PM8005 for $650. |
Rogue Audio sphinx is a great option for you as well. New they're like 1600 but there's at least one for sale on here. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisab5i4-rogue-audio-sphnix-v2-hybrid-integrated-amplifier-black-w... |
op my suggestion of the hegel is solely for the quality of its amp section ... consider the dac and streaming features freebies * * * * * @audioconnection op said -- "I’m looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000." johnny, if you have a used belles aria available for under a grand i would like to buy it :) |
