That P5 looks like a good preamp. It could be a sleeper.
Power Amp recommendations
My Rotel RB-1080 power amp has been having problems losing the right channel- it's been fixed, but the guy told me he'd discovered it's a known problem with several models of Rotel.
I'm thinking about looking to replace the amp, though I've enjoyed it quite a lot, and am looking for suggestions. Over the past year or two, I've returned to listening to LPs almost exclusively, and have built a pretty nice selection of audiophile quality 180/200 gram LPs, including quite a few MOFI titles.
My present set-up is as follows:
Music Hall 5.1 se turntable
Denon DVD 3910
Marantz bd 5004
Marantz 7001 pre-amp
Rotel RB-1080 power amp
Revel F12 speakers
What should I be looking at to replace the Rotel? Is there a reasonably affordable way to get into tube amps, if I were so inclined, and should I even consider them?
