A Forte 50 wpc class A amp and a CJ tube pre-amp would set you back about $1100. An Audio Refinement Complete integrated at about $500 would leave you $500 for a CD-25 or a nice pair of monitors.
1000.00 to spend what would you buy?
i started a simular thread but not too many people have given me any advice. i have a fisher x-202-b that i recently had work done to. overall i got the amp back with updated capacitors and the unit sounds dead. i want to upgrade to more modern equipment. i figure i have 1000 or so bucks to blow on something. what would be the best bang for the buck as far as a new amp/preamp would be? i listen to music at very low levels at night with dynaco a=25's so power is not the most important thing for me. would concider solid state as well if someone can point me in the right direction.
