Best cheap integrated amp

You can get a PS Audio Sprout100 for $699 and sell both your DAC and phono pre to help offset the cost as the Sprout already has both onboard. Doesn’t get much more downsized than that. Best of luck.

I concur.

Thanks for these recommendations. To reiterate, I'm buying new. The NAD and Music Hall are the only ones in my price. I will study these.

Atoll In30 integrated 50wpc   No dac, no balanced inputs. Very nice piece. Great soundstage. 

NAD316BEE is $449.00...all analog w/MM phono and a punchy 40W/ch rating.  Of course smaller speakers may want more power, not less, due to lower sensitivity, but a solid 40 is usually enough for a 2000 cu ft room at non-injurious volume levels.  The C326BEE is discontinued, and has been for a while.

Thanks Lostinbostom & Crustycoot.
