Need inexpensive hybrid int amp


Want to get a nice hybrid int amp for a second system for our vacation home.

Considering the Peachtree Decco or Jolida hybrid. I dont need lots of power and prefer used to new.

any suggestions or feedback on these or other hybrids?

Thanks

hi, i have the decco and use it with some mbquart model 3 towers. the sound is in my opinion graded a " c+/b". not an "a" by any means. those better integrated products are out there but i don,t think you can find them for under a 1000 dollars. a refurbed decco on peachtrees site at 500 bucks is a nice piece when you consider the good dac and a good tube preamp. however when i took my emotiva usp-1 preamp out of my magnepan setup and used the decco pre with the emotiva xpa-2 the sound quality took a hit for the worse. definitely listenable though. i use mine in the second system and like it. i have not listened to the jolida so maybe someone else can give a report
