Integrated w/phono but no DAC


Another integrated thread:

Could you recommend some integrateds that include a phono stage, but do not have an internal DAC?

Budget: $500-$1000

Speakers: Wharfdale Diamond 10.7 (long 25ft run)

Does anyone make something that also includes a Tuner anymore? Used or new ok!

Thanks!

@leemaze - Yep, not too sure if there are any current/new 2-channel receivers. Quality vintage models have a big following and many people love they way they sound. But good ones are starting to get pretty expensive. You used to be able to pick up high line Pioneers and Sansuis for a few hundred bucks. Now they are often $1000ish or more. I did just see a fully serviced Kenwood KR-9600 on my local Craigslist for $750. Not sure if that is a good price, or not, but I think they are well known to be a great vintage receiver.

Good luck in your hunt....
 
@leemaze - An integrated amp, with phono and a tuner would be a receiver, so you can look under receivers to see what is available.

Regarding an integrated: I have the Rega Elicit-R and love it. However, it's a bit over you budget used. I've heard that the Rega Elex-R sounds similar, so it might be a good pick.
