How about the Emotiva UPA-2 amp? You can get it new for about $300 with a 5 year warranty. If you are not happy with the amp you can send it back to them.
I have their UPA-7 amp and am happy with it.

Amp, On A Budget?
I'm building a 2 channel system on a pretty tight budget, think I've done good so far, but need help with an amp!
Source is lossless from PC to JKDAC32 DAC (awesome budget DAC.) Speakers are DIY Statements (awesome speakers, cost about a grand to build, people compare them to speakers that cost 10 times as much and more.)
I'm trying to get the best amp I can for ~300.00, the remainder of my budget. I'm seeing older Adcom, Carver, Parasound, Rotel, etc. in my price range, used of course.
I know this equipment isn't up to the standards of most of the gear discussed here, but any suggestions on which route I should take for a 300.00 amp?

another for the B&K ST140, or the later versions of it. I have a B&K ST125.2 like this that's great too. |
I would go for the Emotiva UPA-2 amp. It is a tremendous bang for the buck. It is built very well and they sound really good. I had a 200.00 Emotiva dac in my system for almost a year. I bought a different dac for 1,000.00 and it is only very slightly better. You won't be disappointed and they have the best customer service as well. |
