Why I am certainly a big fan of the NAD stuff when budget gear comes to mind. I would say the following Integrateds come to mind in the used arena. (Musical Fidelity A3, Creek 5360SE, Rega Mira, and the Electrocompaniet ECI-3)
Actually my oldElectrocompaniet ECI-3 is in the classifieds now from I guess the Guy who purchased it from the member I sold it to. I upgraded the Binding Posts to Cardas Rhodium Posts which made a huge difference.
Anyway, if you can get the extra funds, I would really suggest checking out the amps I mentioned. If not, get the NAD and enjoy it. I just set a friend up with one mated with some EPOS and it is extemely enjoyable and musical.
Respectfully,
Chris
