Getting Started - Recommendations?

I'm just graduating from my old system and want to get something that I can be happy with for the next decade or so. I've got around $1000-1200 to spend on an amp/preamp, or on an integrated amp. Any suggestions of how to best spend this on gear, new or used? Thanks in advance!

I don't have specific recommendations, but I do perefer buying used.

Whats your current set-up?

What speakers do you have?
What source components do you have?
How big is your room?
What kind of music do you listen to?
Do you have a pref or solid state or tubes?
Is a remote required?

I suggest used. More bang for your buck, IMO.

These days there are many high quality integrated amps out there. Speakers, room size and solid-state/tubes are the big variables. Help us out and we can help you out.
