I've had an Audio Refinement Complete (built under license by/for YBA) in my office for the last several days while my amp gets fixed, it's a nice integrated, and it can be had for around $700 on the 'net. I own more "rarefied" gear so I'm kinda fussy, this is one nice piece of equipment, if 50 watts a side is enough for you...
PRE/AMP Combo or Integrated?
I would like some advice, I have about $1400 to spend on either a new pre and amp or should I get an integrated, I was thinking of the Krell 300i or a combo built around an Adcom 750 or ARC ls9 and a lesser amp (Acurus a200, etc) to hold me over until I can upgrade, in the long run this will cost more but will sound better but is it worth it, any opions appreciated
