Best Integrated or Power Amp Under $1K?

My 48 year old Dynaco Stereo 70 is seriously in need of another rebuild and I'm not sure if I'm up to it. Instead I might go for something more reliable, probably (but not necessarily) solid state.

Here's my 2-channel system (modest by most of your standards I'm sure!)...

- Musical Fidelity A3 CD
- Antique Sound Labs Passive TIDT (autoformer based passive 'preamp')
- Dynaco Stero 70 (Curcio mods)
- Meadowlark Kestrels

So what Integrated Amp or Power Amp under $1K should I be looking at? (If a Power Amp, it would have to work well with the passive autoformer 'pre-amp'.) TIA!

If you can live without that preamp, I'd suggest an Adcom GFA5500 amp & GFP750 preamp.
The amp has 200wpc, and the preamp sounds very good in passive & active mode.
The amp goes for around $500.00 used, the pre around $600.00.
