    I have a Creek Destiny amp, the Mk1 which was made in England. The Destiny was top of Creek's range. It's actually one of Creek's demo amps for shows etc and has a sticker inside it saying "refurbished by Mike Creek". It's in excellent condition and I fitted a brand new phono board just before Christmas supplied by Creek directly. Plenty of reviews on line and it would be a considerable saving on your budget.

    Thanks for letting me know about the Creek Ian but I really want to buy new after having 2 vintage amps fail on me in recent years hence the quest for a new Integrated amp.

    After a couple of months of research and listening I eventually bought the Rega Elex Mk4 to use in my second system. I wanted an Integrated amplifier with a good phono stage and good connectivity which was well built and most importantly sounded good with my Spendor SP2 speakers.

    I must say this amplifier has excellent synergy with my SP2 speakers and has really bought them to life in a way I have not heard them before. Build quality is superb and sound quality is excellent.

    I am now looking for a new turntable........
