Definitely Luxman… the 590axii (albeit “only” 30 watts…) has an amazing phonostage. And regarding the power requirement… don’t stare yourself blind on the numbers… the 590 drove my Watt Puppy 8’s to volumes way beyond what I could tolerate
Integrated Amp Phono Section
Downsizing my system and would like to buy a solid state or hybrid integrated amplifier with an excellent phono stage. Any recommendations? Would prefer a minimum of 80 watts per channel or so... speakers will probably be either Alta Celesta FRM or Magico A1. So far, have identified Esoteric, Luxman and Modwright as possibilities. Budget is up to $9000 used. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
