A couple other hybrids to consider would be Rogue Audio Sphinx and Croft Phono Integrated - pre-owned, well within your budget.
Mid-fi integrated tube amp advice
I've recently upgraded my 35 year old speakers and turntable to kef q900's and a dc carbon table with an ortofon red.
I'm still running a 35 year old, mid market denon av amp butt have been looking at ss and tube amps with a budget around $1,000.
This just became available locally and I think I can get it for a bit less.

There's not a lot of info on it. Does anyone know of the amp that can give an opinion. I'm also very open to other suggestions.
