One box do it all
however…you can build one heck of a good system around it’s core functionality and sonics.. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7100#&gid=1&pid=5 good luck on your journey Jim |
for 2500 i would get a hegel h120 (list is 3000, available from retailers at 2500 or close to it) superb sound and power, excellent build the hegel h160 mentioned by @soix is an excellent amp, but the dac is a bit old now, newer hegels have a cleaner more dimensional dac section you will need a phono stage though, as hegels do not have one built in for less money, slightly less pure sound, but very nice build and form factor, i second @soix suggestion of a nuprime ida-8 the above are superior to nad, cambridge and arcam imo, you will hear the difference on your spec 40s |
As mentioned above there are lots of options at that price if you eliminate the phono-stage. None that I know of with a decent phono-stage. There's a guru snoozin' in a limousine And a whole industry pumping blood into recycled scenes There'll be one corporation selling one little box It'll do what you want and tell you what you want and cost whatever you got |
