Hi all,
My real name is Mark and I live near Figeac in the department du Lot, France.
I'm an expat and moved here from Stockport 4 years ago. Before I came here I had a huge Cyrus setup which I had to sell. The new old house was just not big enough to contain the equipment so it had to go.
We run a business from home (english language centre see www.a-lot-of.com which I must update). After a few adjustments to the accommodation I now have my own office .
I have a mac pro which contains my entire music collection (apple lossless) and and a pair of Rega Alya speakers. I've just purchased a Beresford 7510 from a forum member to plug into the toslink hurrah.
Now I need an amp. I've got a limited budget, about a tenner (okay a few hundred quid) and need an amp. I have some cables which I'll upgrade after I get the amp. I see my new office system as work in progress so I'll be looking to upgrade as spare cash allows.
So, do I get some sort of Cyrus power amp (will this be okay with the Beresford?) or an integrated, or should I go down the Naim route (but what) or should I consider something else?
As I live in the middle of no-where opportunities to try before I buy are extremely limited, so I need some advice....please.
Regards from the sunny south
