Affordable intergrated with phono stage..new/used?


I am looking for an affordable intergrated with phono stage...so far the Rega Brio comes to mind as an option...but are there better used options? I looked at an Arcam Delta 290...but the phono would be extra...my budget is around 3-$500...and have heard as far as used products go...although there are no guarantees...amps are a safe option...thanks for responding..also..a local hi end dealer swears by the NAD 3155 as a budget option...anybody familiar with this piece?

Owned the Brio and it is nice for a new piece of gear at the price point. Phono sections in older Luxman gear are clearly superior. L-450 integrated, R-1070, R-1120. Tandberg also had nice sounding stuff, although reliability issues with some models.

A great reference for these kinds of things is Audio Specialties in Portland, OR. 503 257 3206. Doug Siegel deals mostly in quality used gear and is also a very good tech.
