Seems like you are sold on the Rega. I have to say it is nice looking amplifier, and I like the speakers too. A little pricey but then you get the lifetime warranty (assuming you get that in Australia).Sleek, elegant, space-saving, less cabling and stacking.
Plus, ok look. I just want something that looks like it's from the movie Forbidden Planet, to pair with my speakers that look like they're from Forbidden Planet. So I can watch Forbidden Planet with its 50s mono audio piped through 2021:
