Integrated amp with phone and headphone jack?

Roksan Kandy III is a very nice unit with those features. The Sony TA-F707es is another that is surprisingly good for the used price.

Although a mcintosh would be VERY nice, it's too much for my second system. Right now there is a Marantz 2238B receiver ($275) and a Roksan Kandy III ($700.)

What do you guys think? Can the Marantz keep up? They're both w/in my budget.

I just remembered the A&R A60 has a phono and headphone jack

For a second system, the Outlaw RR2150 receiver ($600) would be awesome. I am using one with a small pair of REGA Ara monitors and a Cambridge Audio Azur 540 DVD player. Sweet system for about $1100. As an added bonus, the tuner section on the Outlaw is as good as some vintage Marantz receivers that I own.

Regards,

I used a Kandy III in my system with Vandersteen 1Cs and then with Meadowlark Audio Shearwater Hot Rods for nearly a year. I won an ebay auction for a Son TA-F707es with a ridiculous low bid so I hooked it up to audition. Funny thing, I actually preferred the Sony. Better resolution and soundstage IMO. Both units had decent phono stages.
As for Mcintosh, I can't say as I've never owned one. Good luck.

There are several. The headphone outs in the cheaper integrated amps I've heard are pretty bad (e.g., in the Arcam A65, NAD 320BEE). In the better Arcam integrateds like the A85 or A90 the quality goes up significantly.

Rotel actually has fairly good headphone outs as I recall, but it was a years ago that I heard one so I may not hold the same opinion now. You can get an old Linn Majik integrated that has a good headphone out for under $500, but this is a fairly low powered piece (33 watts, albeit British watts)so if you have inefficient speakers it is not a great choice.
