Looks like the upcoming ARCAM SA45 ticks all the boxes although falling somewhat short on power (180W/300W, 8 ohm and 4 ohm respectively). It may come down to a decision between that one and the NAD. The two brands reportedly have different sound signatures (warmer and brighter respectively).

@freediver You are correct the Hegel H600 has an MSRP of $12,500. Are you the guy that paid the full price that one time? 🤣 As for not having a phono stage, my thought was if you're not caring about the quality of the phono, it could be added for a couple hundred and still be within the 10K budget. Anyone interested in a higher end vinyl set up would most likely be looking at a stand alone phono stage? So IMHO, someone looking at spending $10K, should consider the H600. |
McIntosh MA9000, It has a photo stage dac but no streamer Cost of 11K new, But you can find them use for 9K or a little less You could buy a blue node streamer, all for under 10k I happen to have a McIntosh MA9000 with an upgraded dac (D2) 😁, sitting in my closet, I upgraded to separates. Been wanting to sell it.
