looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range

I need to downsize and will be selling my Aragon 4004 MKII and AVA Fet Valve Hybrid SL Preamplifier with Silver Face Plate and MM Phono.

The rest of system is Burchardt s 400 m1’s, Marantz TT 15s1, Rega M3 MM phono amp, Gustard x16 DAC. Wiim pro streamer. Sounds great mid to high level volume. Lower volume not so much so I want that quality at lower volume if possible. I’m considering Schitt RAGNAROK basic model or Rogue Sphinx 3. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these or other suggestions. Thanks in advance.

The Marantz PM8006 is a nice sounding piece in your budget. It  also had an exceptionally good sounding built in phono stage for your budget (from what i remember), which may make you sell the Rega Booga phono piece you've got...one less pestilent cable, power supply, etc to deal with in the chain.

The Quads (all versions) can't be beat for low-level resolution. Regardless of whether made in the UK or China.
