I would be interested in knowing the rest of your equipment and listening preferences, room size, etc. But, in limiting the response to just your question, a YBA Integra DT with phono stage would be a nice choice and should be available at around $14-1500 used. Otherwise, I think I recently saw a Hafler 9505 amplifier on the 'Gon for around $600, which would be a nice reliable solid state, good sounding amp for the price. Other amps in your price range I could suggest would be a Forte model 4 or 4A, if you can find one, again, used at around $600. I'd also be interested in what others have to say about your request. Happy Hunting!
Amp or Integrated amp for Quad ESL-63's?
I need to replace an aging,buzzing amplifier for my Quad ESL-63's. I would like to keep it at about $1000 and was thinking possibly an integrated would be good (as my preamp is the same age as my amp). Is there anyone with any ideas for something that would match well with my electrostatics? It would be a plus to have a phono section as my current preamp has one and I occasionally listen to vinyl.
