2nd system for office, all-in-one integrated suggestions


Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on an all-in-one integrated for a second system at work. My overall all-in budget is $4000 (including cables). I'll be using the Elac debut 2.0 speakers to start. The goal of the system is mainly streaming but I'll need MM/MC capabilities. I could do a separate phono stage at some point, but prefer something built in for now to keep the system clean. I'm looking at the Rega P1 with an updated Hana cartridge (my home rig is a P10 outfitted with a Hana Umami Red). I'll be using AQ cabling. I feel like this price point is difficult because of the vast number of options. My rig at home is very transparent, dynamic, maybe just toward the warm side of neutral. I have all tubes at home but would like solid state just for convenience for this system, but nothing too analytical sounding. Thanks for the suggestions

If you’re gonna bother investing in a P1 and Hana cartridge I’d go for a separate phono stage as anything in an all-in-one unit is gonna be a big bottleneck.  This NuPrime unit has everything except the phono stage but only costs $1495 so leaves a good bit available in your budget for both decent cables and a better phono pre.  Hope this helps, and best of luck in your search.
