I heard the Mark Levinson 585 yesterday and it was spectacular. There is one on A'gon for less than what you want to spend. I was always considering the Luxman 509x but I have not heard it. I may take a chance and buy the Luxman without hearing from A'gon or buy the ML 585 from the dealer I went too. I never was a big fan of ML gear before but this sounded great with the Magioc A3's.
Luxman L-509X for ATC SCM 19v2/40v2, thinking integrated to start with
I like to listen to music at low to normal levels and wondering how Luxman L-509x will work or ATC SCM 19v2. I am considering starting with an integrated first and not go over $8k for amp and preamp.
Initially I wanted to try ATI AT6002 and a Tube preamp with good phono stage and the price seems to be somewhat close to a good used integrated amp.
Please suggest integrated with good phono stage and DAC less than $8k . Prefer 200w 8ohm output, but can settle for a bit less for good implementation.
