used power amp under 1500

thanks @deer_creek_audio I am checking it out

There's an Odyssey Audio Candela preamp on USAM for only $550.

Worth checking out!

There is a Belles Aria Dual Mono integrated listed here for $1750 which is a tad over your budget. Make an offer on it. I just bought a Belles Aria and compared to my tube separates it comes damn close. As a matter of fact I just might be selling my tube gear !

I did check it out @thecarpathian thank you!

I think I am better off with an integrated.

I also admit my weakness: some standard for aesthetics. Odyssey doesn’t cut it. I would have it in my bedroom (if I had a 2nd system) in the closet, but not in my my main rack (or if it was that cheap, that good, I would give it a pass for the hideous looks. (And looks are subjective)

Here is my "high-powered" integrated candidate list:

• Classe CAP-150
• Musical Fidelity M6si
• Musical Fidelity A300

Simaudio (and many more) are out of my price range

@yogiboy I should add that Belles to my list. 

That's a good deal for that Aria!
