Looking for a good quality, powerful, used integrated amplifier, I typically lose money every time I buy/sell and am only human so ideally want a bargain to help mitigate my inevitable losses, I might have to sell a few items but the budget will be up to £3k.

Please suggest what you have, with as much of the following specifications as possible:
1. prefer (not essential) dual pre-outs for use with subwoofers
2. built in DAC with USB or Coax digital input
3. built in quality MC phono (adjustable even better)
4. minimum 120w into 8ohms
5. prefer (not essential) one or two XLR inputs

Alternatively, I would consider a power amp by either Bryston, Ayre, Boulder or similar, less than 30kg please, as my back won't take too much nowadays

If you have anything in mind, or know someone with a unit that might be up for sale, grateful if you could Personal Message PM with details and price. I am located in Bedford. Thank you

Plenty of power, MC/MM, balanced inputs, and money left over for a quality DAC (I've heard the included USB input is a bit naff). It's now being replaced by M6xi, so should be some bargains about. Secondhand ones come up quite frequently too.

I'd have a look at Nuprime products. They are Class D using their own modules and sound fabulous.
The IDA-9 does most of what you want but you would need an external phono stage but you'd have plenty of money left to get a good one.

Got a pair of 90’s ONIX 901 monos not the last word in power but very musical.
