If you liked the D200 and don't plan on changing other components in your system, I like the idea of buying another D200 and sending it to ARC for new caps, general refurb. Otherwise there are many good amps in your price range.
Amp to replace Audio Research D200
HI all
My beloved 20 something year old D200 has experienced death by cat (don't ask!) and has to be replaced. I can probably allocate $1500 to this task. My preamp is an AR LS2 and I've got an AR transport and an Enlightened Audio Designs DAC all driving a pair of first generation VR4 speakers. OK, so I'm old, what can I say :)
Any recommendations for a replacement amp? BTW, looks like D200s are going for about $1000 used now, so that's a possibility.
Thanks for any advice
Howard
