Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!

Black Friday got me! I just placed orders for a Mini GaN5 power amplifier from ClassD Audio and from Buchardt a I150 integrated amplifier......Looking into the latest GaN technology and the Buchardt I150 should prove to be my forever PREamplifier. All the reviews rave about the amazing preamplifier, room correction, eq and more......Speakers will be Magnepan LRS, KEF LS50 Metas and Pensil 10....Should be fun!

BTW, I can't tell you how many NAD integrated amplifiers I sold back in the day just to be used as a preamp with the amazing phono section that offered....

Congrats! You only live once so don't deny yourself and end up not knowing or realizing your dreams. I hope it gives you many years of service and pleasure.

All the best,
Nonoise

I just checked out their website, the Buchardt seems like a good option for folks who are not in a position to fully treat their room acoustically, as they clearly explain. And in my experience, a lot less expensive :) Enjoy!

Just keep in mind that most integrated amps, especially budget models, use cheap alps pots for attenuation. This is a bottleneck for sound quality. The attenuator isn’t everything, but it’s a big thing.
