integrated amps $1500-$2200

First, I suggest you upgrade your cd player.Rega has no resolution,dynamics or bass.About the amplifier;solid state-Electrocompaniet($2000-new),tube-Yakov Aronov Audio(new-$3200 or so,but can get it used for $1600).Conrad-Johnson is just not good enough.

I suggest 15 year old Mark Levinson separates as an alternative.
