I have a Belles Soloist One that I bought used in 2014 for around $1800 I think....I use it still and it drives my ATC SCM40V2 with relative ease. I love this integrated and would recommend it highly to anyone. No phono stage, but a very well built, SS all analog unit. David Belles knows what he’s doing....my vote would be that or the Moon.....
