You might consider the Heed Elixir. I auditioned one this weekend and the Peachtree I mentioned earlier in the thread is going bye-bye. It's a simple integrated - 50 WPC Class A amp, 4 inputs plus a MM phono input, pre-outs, and a Class A headphone amp. It's very similar to the Brio, however in the reviews I read most give a nod to the Elixir. I had never heard of it before, I was visiting one of my favorite shops and they had one. It really grabbed me and I took one home. The dealer gave me a 30 day window to return it, but I think it's staying.
Rega Brio R or Alex R for new Klipsch Heresy III's.
Greetings. Been exploring options for a new integrated for my Heresy III's. I like these 2 options and the sterling reviews they get across the board. I prefer simple 2 channel amplification. Phono section is nice, no need for a DAC or lots of bells and whistles. I have the Apollo R cd player so these seemed like logical choices. I have where Rega products have a "synergy" with each other. Will the Elex R qualitatively sound much better for the extra $$? I can't demo them side by side so input is most appreciated....
