All recommendations please being 2nd hand, so I can get better for my budget... which can vary, which isn't helpful I know.... let's say 500-1000.
I would like a new-to-me amplifier - something that should be a strong base around which I can create a better system.
Would be nice with a phono input, but not critical.
So I can either buy a well regarded integrated, say Arcam A39, Roksan something or Rega Elicit (if I can find one for sale), or, and here you can help with a list of outstanding preamps from the last 15 years that I can add a power amp or two over time. I have a few old things I can use as a power amp in the meantime, so don't worry about that.
Are the older Linns worth getting? Wakonda Kairn Kolektor Majik (any to use as preamp) and yes I know they vary with phono input or not.
Musical Fidelity integrated or separate pre?
It's too open a question to get anything useful from a 'search'.
Don't worry about recommendations being your favourite and my ears may vary.
Thanks in anticipation.
