Which integrated amplifier .


I will be giving my daughter my audio system soon . You see , I've been fighting with lung cancer for the past 7 years . 
 Recently my oncologist told me he has exhausted all possible treatment options available and even though they have slowed the growth they haven't stopped it .

 So he deemed me incurable . That being said , I'm preparing everything , leaving my audio system to my daughter . 

Doc says its called sarcoma and that its one of those type of cancer dificult to treat . Enough of that . So I'm preparing myself . I wouldn't like to give my daughter my audio system as it is ,  Its to complicated and she knows nothing of it . She loves the way it sounds but knows absolutely nothing of stereo hardware .

That being as it is , to simplify I was thinking of trading in my preamp and amp for a decent sounding integrated . What complicates things a bit is that my speakers are kind of power hungry , Magnepan MG12 , so the integrated has to be a high current design .

My present amp which Im willing to trade is a Mcormack DNA 125 . It's great with the maggies as it pumps out up to 65 amps of current making. my maggies sing .Preamp is a Elekit TU-8500 tube preamp with all the mods installed including upgraded capacitors in line stage  and resistors in phono stage . 

So anyone know of a low cost integrated of high current ,  capable of moving Magnepan MG12 ? I would really apreciate any suggestion . 

I know there are some excellent units in the market  but they are all very expensive and for someone living with social security , well , you get my drift . One unit I was looking at is from rogue audio but if possible for simplicity of use Solid State would be better for my daughter.

Can you imagine ! I got to sit down with her and explain  how to use the turntable , connect everything . What goes where . A integrated would simplify things . Thank you guys for your suggestions in advance . God bless and stay safe .

My sincere thoughts go to you. Keep listening to great music. And remain positive....

i just got one of the first for the New Marantz model 30,it is almost identical to the KI Ruby  ,but more retro with the knobs on front

but all functions can operate from remote,

ruby didnot have a preamp out the 30 has a pre in and out. And $1500 less .it is very musical your power cord and cables will dictate its balance, your speakers to to a less extent a very well behaved integrated and same active preamplifier with seperate power supply no cheap alps volume pot ,all linear electric volume  nice OLED it say 100 wpc into 8 ohms actually it is

170wpc into 8 ohms, 280 into 4 ohms.

fully adjustable display. And in 1/2 db increments , integrsted amp of the year dusl mono Hypex  amps direct coupled to the outputs and Descreet designed modules ,not opamps like most .i have been in audio 40+ years .

this sounds like a very good class AB setup. the ruby was $4k  this is a more more linear not quite as warm.

get a good power cord and upgrade the fuse inside to a synergistic Orange fuse.  The cdp,dac is equally good.

and I personally like the looks lI have it in Black.,and weighs around 16 kilos. MCM I am sorry to hear about your health ,I wish you to get your system together and enjoy with your daughter  ,with over 40+ years in Audio and owned a store the new technologies are getting better all the time , God bless you,Paul.


@mcmvmx, 
So sorry to hear about what you are going through.  Life has been pretty tough for many people around here lately.  I hope you are able to enjoy your stereo and that it’s a getaway for you.

Why don’t you ask your daughter ehat she would prefer?  Your set-up the way it is now or an all in one solution.  If all in one, there are many good choices.  I’d ask which ones specifically have good synergy with your speakers.  You’ll also want an on board dac, I believe.

Something like the recommended Bel Canto, a bluesound node and a cd player might be the ticket.

I have an Anthem I225 that would power your speakers well but there is no on board dac.  I would make you a good deal though if it something your interested in.

Anyhow, good luck and I wish you well!
