    Default WTD: Integrated amp

    I'm thinking of getting one next week in the £5-600 range but thought I'd see what's out there first. Open minded on topology and power (but I'm not after a low power valve amp) although I'd like to have remote control. I'd also prefer to spend less if I can but would equally up the budget a bit if it was worth the extra. I'm also fussy about condition but if something's a bargain I can always look the other way

    Default WTD: Integrated amp

    Just before the lockdown I auditioned and bought a Rega Brio and have found it to be superior to my previous Cambridge CXA60, it's purely analogue and it has a very good sounding MM phono stage onboard. If you don't need digital inputs I don't think there's anything better at the price (£599). It does have remote control too.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Maybe the NAD D3020v2. Reviews say it carries with it the characteristics of the original and for connectivity it touches all the bases

    Thanks for suggestions so far, the amp I'm looking at was well reviewed at about £1.5k a few years ago so I'm looking for something in that ball park though. Sorry maybe I wasn't clear that's £5-600 s/h price.

    Btw, that’s below your original budget but for more money and power you could elect for the 3045

    Thanks, if a used one came up about half the new price I'd seriously think about it.

    Hi Lawrence, I bought a Yamaha RN-803D, it's a brilliant amp for the money and does everything ie FM and DAB, internet radio and music-cast multi room etc.

    I paid about £500 from Richersounds around 18 months ago, the only issue, if it is an issue, is that it can't be upgraded via a software upgrade to the newer Airplay thing.

    I'm not selling as it's a keeper.

    Cheers

    Tony
