    Default WTD: Amplifier - show me what you got

    Around £2k
    Separated or integrated or just power amplifier
    The budget can be stretched for something special
    It does not need to be anything powerful, I am happy to have A class less than 20W.

    I expect you'll get a lot of suggestions for amps at that sort of price. On the used integrated amp market, I'd be looking at Sugden, Lavardin, Leben and possibly two grand might just be enough for a yummy Brinkmann.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Hi Steff

    I have a Krell KSA100 Mk2 that I am considering selling. 100 watts class A. Would take £1600 for it but collection only as it is heavy. Very heavy.
    Current Lash Up:

    TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

    Yes, that's right. I tried Lavardin IS and it wasn't my cup of tea for the simple reason, it was too far away from my current amp.

    I have got two pairs - Focal spectral 913 and Tannoy Chatsworth but I started to think reduce a number of speakers and upgrade it as well.

    Tannoy Eaton caught my attention.

    Thank you for your offer Martin but this one might be running too hot for me as one of ideas to get another amp is to reduce amount of heat which my GM70 amp generates during hot days.
    Smaller class A might be better for me.

    Possibly too expensive but I have a Perreaux Eloquence 250i 40th Anniversary with the ES9038 Pro DAC fitted (this is Perreaux's latest DAC which was developed for the Eloquence 255i amp with DSD support, not the original DAC for the 150/250 amps). Looking for around £3k (about £9k new)
    Garrard 401, Jelco 750 with Shuggie, Ortofon 2M Black / ZYX Yatra 100, Project Phono RS with Sigma22 Linear PS, RPi3 + DigiOne + Linear PS, RPi3/1Tb SSD with PiCorePlayer + Linear PS, Perreaux Eloquence 250i 40th Anniversary with ES9038Pro DAC, DCG3 Pre-Amp, Neurochrome 8x2 Pre-Amp, Neurochrome 686 Power amp, Benchmark DAC2 HGC, Primare V25 CD player, Monitor Audio PL300, Sjostrom DCT03 DC Blocker.
