Recommend you proceed with caution. At MRSP, you will give up sound quality in switching to an integrated at the $1,000 price level. Would recommend stretching to $1,500 at which Audio Research CA50 (used) are attainable. Musical Fidelity also makes some highly rated units at this price point. Also saw a posting today for a Goldmund integrated for, I believe, $1,300. If you're a tube lover, the Goldmund may not be to you taste, but it's a very high quality unit. Good luck.
