Any good cheap integrated amps?


Does anyone have recommendations for an under-$300 integrated? I'm looking for a system for my office, driving 91db monitors with a NAK MB-10 CDP and CAL Gamma DAC. Thinking about Cambridge or Musical Fidelity, probably used. Suggestions greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

The Luxmans and Yamahas of late 70s/early 80s are still superb when compared to even current electronics. Might even find a Luxman L-105 for around $350. Good luck. Doug
There is an Audiolab 8000A on EBAY right now that should fit your needs if you want a good amp with phono.
Look for an NAD 3020 integrated, from the late 70's and early 80's or an NAD 7020 Receiver (same time period).
Both units are Audio Classics and every audiophile should
own one of these during their lifetime because of the excellent sound quality. I still have my NAD 3020 and I
will never sell it. GOOD LUCK and HAPPY LISTENING.
dunno what happened to the second-half of my 1st post here - kinda makes my 2nd post meaningless! :>) oh well, isle try again:

i'd recommend buying the audio innovations alto integrated amp (audio innovations is a subsidiary of audio note) currently being adwertized on a-gon for $275 (retail $500). i had one driving a pair of thiel 3.5's in my 26x28 kitchen, & this 35wpc amp aquitted itself quite well in a large room, driving these wery-power-hungry 4-ohm-load speakers. much better sound, imho, than comparably-priced nad, etc. admittedly, the kraken amp/pre i'm now using on the thiels, w/a class-a amp putting out ~100wpc, does a better yob than the audio innovations, but the retail price is $2160, & the thiels are wery hard speakers to drive. i'm amazed that the alto worked at all driving those speakers in that room!

in an office, w/91db/1w/1m speakers, yule have great sound w/the alto. and, the alto looks way-cool too - kinda like a spaceship - good for an office enwironment.

pick up a decent vintage luxman or sansui tuna for ~$100-$200 later on, & yule be set; or get a more recent adcom or nad tuna for about the same price...

good luck, doug s.

ps - for a foto of the alto go here - it's the top-unit, prolly in black, not chrome...

jeez, wazzup w/my compootah?!? here's the audio innovations foto link:
