    First Post: Help me with an integrated amp!

    Hi guys, just updating! I've been feeling a little disappointed recently - everything I've thought is gonna be within price range, and there's been loads of good stuff, has flown up within the last 20 seconds of any ebay auctions way out of reach. The worst example was when in the final 10...

    I prefer a more laid back, smooth presentation than fast and bitty, but obviously the more detailed the better - the music I listen to is hugely varied however: today I've been listening to Dire Straits, Burial (garage/electronic) and Norah Jones...

    I've had a problem with the forum telling me I'm not allowed to post because it's spam.. But anyway, thanks so much for the help guys, I'm gonna look around and see what I can find - probably the way forward! I'll keep you all updated, incase you're interested :)

    NADs do seem to be a good option - I'll look at the 302, and they go for peanuts! The others do still interest me, however: I just don't know much about them. I do worry that if I spent the time I spend looking for the perfect amp at this price range working instead, I would be able to afford a...

    Thanks for the reply! It's definitely one of the ones I'm most interested in, but it's very much reliant on finding a good deal on one somewhere, as it's up at the top end of what I'm looking at, price wise.

    Hi guys, I'm new here and have been out of the forum game for a while so please excuse me any misdeeds! To put this in perspective, as a student, the only HIFI I've been able to afford for a while has been free: I inherited some reasonably low quality old Sony stuff from my Dad who very kindly...
