I know this is has been asked many times over, but I really didn't want to hijack other posts.
I'm looking to put together a second system. I have a Rega P6 turntable, Emotiva XPS-1 phono-pre. I need an amp/pre combo or integrated. I was thinking hard about the Yamaha A-S1200 integrated, but, if I'm honest with myself, It's mostly for the audio-porn VU meters.
Yesterday, I stumbled across the Hypex Ncore amps. I really like the looks and build quality that I've seen with the boXem Arthur and the March Audio P502.
If I pick up one of those, I'll need a preamp. Any recommendations? Primary use will be with my TT, but I would like to be able to plug a CD player and streamer in the future. I'm up for anything, SS, Tubes, whatever. I feel like I should be able to find something decent for under $2K, but I'm flexible.
If you have something you love, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks in advance,
Zutroye
