Need to buy used integrated about 800 dollars


I have a NAD c372, whose power capacitors shorted.
This issue is a known potential problem within a certain production period.
United Radio in Syracuse currently has it for repair approval, their tech also stated that they were familiar with the issue.
The cost is about four hundred dollars to replace the four capacitors at about 50 dollars each plus labor.
I have come to expect even modest solid state units to last well over 10 years, but I con't feel confidant regarding this unit.
I see here, at Audiogon, a number of used integrateds under $1,000 that may be a better choise.
Whatever unit I end up with will be used to monitor in a studio mastering room. In other words, normal program material as opposed to tracking/recording where possible danage to equipment can happen from sudden high level sources.
Signal chain is computer files out, to pro audio sound card, to Benchmark DAC1 to whatever integrated I end-up with to a pair of Von Schweikert VR-2.
I would apprediate thw advice of the knowledgeable folks here, thank you.

A used YBA YA201, DT Integre or any Cayin integrated would be a nice choice.
Check out Music Hall, and you might have some change to spare.

Some retailers have generous return policies, if you tend to keep things a while take advantage of that and demo a few brands at home.
Maybe the Shanling A3000 that is for sale in the intergrated section would fit your needs;seems like a good deal price wise but I am not familiar with this unit and how well it may or may not mate with your speakers.
I second Music HAll MAven . Great clear and open stage 100W per channel. Superbly built.
Just a thought. Add a power amp instead of an integrated amp to your DAC1 and use its variable output to control volume. That is how I used my DAC1 fed into a tube power amp w/ amazing sonic purity.
