Preamp Advice plz?? Using Nak PA-7 & Legacy Focus

Hi!

I'm 21 years of age and building my first system, really excited, spending way too much..

I've bought all of this stuff second hand: Original Legacy Focus speakers ($2500), a Nakamichi PA-7 ($700) and an Azur 640H cd player ($800).

I really, really need help finding a Preamp now. My budget is around $400-500, so I'm hoping to find a used one so that I can afford the quality to match the other components (they ARE good components, right?? x_x). I was also hoping to get a Preamp with a remote. ..and a headphone jack, but that's not going to happen.

I'm totally lost here, don't know what to look for or where to look for it. I called some local places in Toronto, but found nothing. I'm hoping I'll be fortunant enough to find what I need on this site. I would appretiate anyone's help so much.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,

If I were in you situation I would sell the nakamichi amp and look for a good integrated amp in the $1-1.5K range.
Some good choices here, like Plinius 8200 mk II, Classe CAP-151, Krell KAV-300iL, just to name a few. In your price range I think you get a better value out of integrateds than from seperates.

Cheers,
John
