It has been many years since I looked into the newer amps and preamps. The ATI 1202 amp B model is available for $611 shipped, and that company was the last owner of B&K so would have had the benefit of their knowledge for future production. However, they don't make preamps. I would rather buy new and as I am 70 next year, this might be my last audio purchase. Would like to spend less than $1000 for the amp, $1000 for the preamp when the time comes, or should I consider an excellent integrated amp now for under $2000? So I need advice as well as recommendations.
The Sony ES cd player, Audioquest and Monster connects are also 23 years old but there is no indication of problems. To be honest, I have not played music all that often in recent years and use Youtube on the computer a lot, but want to focus on the stereo system more from now on.
