In your budget you'll probably get the most bang for the buck with an integrated amp. You may be able to get a nice Ayre, Plinius or Krell for under $1500 used. Then you can sell your preamp and amplifier. IMHO it's not worth going to seperates until your willing to spend more $$$.
Upgrade under $1000. Aragon or?
I'm considering a system upgrade
possibly replacing my Acurus A-150 with Aragon 4004mkII.
Once I got to thinking about it, I started to consider where the money would be best spent. I'm pretty happy with the input/output devices so I'm looking around at AMP/Preamps.
current config:
Pre: Acurus RL-11
Amp: Acurus A-150
Speakers: Dahlquist DQ-20
Sub: M&K (not sure of the model-Big)
Active x-over: Rane AC22
CD/Sacd: Sony SCD-CE775 (Matt Anker modified)
Vinyl: Denon DP-45F TT, Grado gold, Musical Fidelity X-LPS phono preamp.
The budget is kind of limited so I'm looking
to get the most bang for my buck.
Thanks in advance.
