If on a budget great design and build active preamp
the Marantz KI ruby ,successor is the new Model-30
a power house integrated amp dual mono direct coupled Ncore 500 amplifiers compare with Any $5 k setup , this new integrated $2500 and just sounds like a very good class AB amp, I have owner many systems ,this easily compares with any McIntosh integrated
as well as Simaudio ,Hegel ,Yamaha,each ones has its own sonic character .I never would say this if not knowing the Marantz pm Ki ruby which this is a 2 year design even with a excellent phono stage.check it out before commenting , it just came out ,look at early reviews. It says 100,200 wpc it true power 170,8 ohms 280 into 4.
