Suggestions for an Amp and/or Preamp.


I need some suggestions for an Amp and or Preamp. My budget is $4000. I read a lot on this forum and know there is a plethora of so called experts on here, I need your help!!!. I’m a newbie and not an expert in any way. I basically have garbage equipment compared to most of you out there. I only want to listen to vinyl with this system. I have a small collection of around 500 albums that continues to grow. I really liked some speakers I heard and found them at a very great price on the secondary market. The speakers are Martin Logan’s Ascent i. Also, I found an Innersound E300 amp for sale and am wondering what’s a good price for this and if it’s a good match for my speakers. At some point I will replace my turntable too but wanted focus on the amp and or preamp first.
RIP Kobe!

What you want is a dealer to help you discover what you like, then work towards that. Where are you located?
Check out Raven Audio. 45 day return policy. The Blackhawk is interesting and in your budget. I have not heard them but would definitely consider them. Its an integrated amp. Pay no attention to the low wattage. Wattage is misleading. For separates, try Tubes4hifi. SP14 preamp & ST-45 or ST-60 amp. Or try Don Sachs SP14 preamp. Its listed on T4H. Enjoy. BTW, I do have the ST-70. Its much better than its price 8indicates.
