Best integrated or receiver w/phono for $1K?


Hi folks,

I'm having to downsize my system and I'm looking for an integrated or receiver with a good phono section for less than $1K. I'm used to tubes, but ss or hybrid is fine too. Don't need a lot of power. Thanks for any suggestions!

How about a vintage Marantz. These peices are built to last and sound great. Under $500 for most all pieces that have been gone through by a qualified tech. Check out Larry ( owner ) at hwdsound.com Great guy and usually has some peices at home that are being worked on . I purchased a Marantz 2238 ( $300 ) for my cellar system and must say they are quite a bargain .They also have a nice phono section too. Keep in mind what 1k will do in todays world...Good Luck
Naim Audio...killer phono sections....many choices under $1K. NAIT 2, NAIT 3, NAIT 3R (remote), or NAIT 5 integrated. Many pre/power combos avaailable under $1K. Great upgrade paths. Try www.pinkfishmedia.com or naim audio forum for lots of info.

Also...Musical Fidelity integrated A2, A220, A300 etc.
Used the Creek 5350SE with the phono card would be a great unit.. It is one of the few Solid State Integrated Amps that impresses me everytime I hear it..
