Looking for Amp/preamp suggestions


Hi all. Its been quite a while since my last post. I'd been working on my system when I got married and had a few kids(i know i'm not alone lol). So now i'm back in the hunt, not as much money to spend, but still back in.

Currently I'm using a Pioneer Elite VSX 09TX to drive my Paradigm Studio 100's. I'm looking for a decent upgrade to my reciever. Originally I was eyeing a pair of Parasound mono's...but as you can guess my budget is blown up. Soooo I'd like suggestions on a decent sub $400 replacement. I'm not set on mono's or tubes or anything. I'd like suggestions on a set up that would make good use of my Parasound's.

Additionally I'll be playing cd's on my modded Sony DVP-S7700 and albums on my Pioneer PL-630 DD TT. Eventually I'll be including an ipod set up as well.
Thanks in advance, Bob

You be really hard pressed to beat the Audio Refinement Complete Integrated that is currently listed for just a bit more than your $400. The Audio Refinement line was designed by YBA. Don't think you can get anything better for more that twice the amount. I don't have any association with the seller, just love YBA products.
