which budget integrated amp Rotel, NAD or other


I am shoppin for a integrated amp with phono to serve temporarily in my system. It will drive Usher X718. I am considering the Rotel RA 1072 (60 watts) or NAD with similar power. The intergrated must have a phono stage. What are your thoughts? Thanks

Definitely give the Rega Brio 3 a listen. It's in the same wattage/price ballpark.
The Brio 3 should drive those Ushers without a problem.
The binding posts and RCA connections are not the highest quality, unfortunately. The source select and volume pots also feel a little cheesy, but they work fine.
