Thanks for the response. I like the descriptions of the sound that I've read in the reviews. I'm considering setting up a near field system with a turntable, a pair of Harbeth P3s, and an integrated - simple with a rich midrange and good with vocals. In the 1k price range, the Rega Brio and the Arcam jump to the front due to the phono stage. I'm also intrigued by the Croft Phono Integrated (a bit more expensive) but volume control for each channel and no remote might just be a bit too much inconvenience.
I don't have any audio stores near me, so I have to order and return through online vendors. I hope to minimize the number of returns.
Thanks,
Scott
