Maybe a used Audiolab integrated?? I think that company died, so their units were selling used & demo for decent prices. You might also check into used integrateds or receivers (from the 80s or 90s) from companies like McIntosh, Luxman, Revox, etc. You could also pick up a used receiver from the late 70s or early 80s for less than $300 (Yamaha, Pioneer, Luxman, Revox, Tandberg, Onkyo, McIntosh, etc). Good luck.
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?
