Guys,
So many suggestions, I am overwhelmed !
You are having me all geared up on the Lyngdorf; it would have been my first choice if not for the price.
Now comes a suggestion for the
Lyngdorf 2170, thank you for that, was not aware about that. Seems very promising.
They only rate power over 4 Ohms (why on earth ???) at 170W. to compare apples with apples what would that rate on 8 Ohms ? 85 ? 100 ? In any case being high current it should be able to drive my Special Forty, shouldn't it ? Any advice here ?
They also have an optional Phono MM board. I can get a gently used one for 2kish + the board I would be in the 2,5 K ballpark, nice !
No streaming capability there but I can use an old Squeezebox I have and connect thru coaxial SPDIF, should come out clean, or use the USB input from a NUC I have nearby where i run the Roon core. Suggestions anyone ?
Thanks again, this has been exceedingly informative.
Mark.
