System Advice

Hi all, 

I have Totem Skylite speakers (which I love!) and am looking to rebuild the rest of the system for $1500-$2000: turntable and amp/pre-amp or integrated amp. 

Any ideas? I'm open to used equipment if need be, too.

Thanks!

Are you sure it requires it? I think that's just an optional upgrade.

Going to have a digital source, cd player or anything like that or just turntable and amplification?

My opinion is whatever amp you decide on, I’d at least double the watts, your Totems are on the lower side of efficiency at 88db, and I bet with more oomph your going to like them even more.

@aarongreenb ,

For a thousand bucks new, you get a lot! Sabre dac, mm phono, 80 watts, definitely a contender. I myself look for deals on higher end used, like @jl35 suggested.

Quick sidetrack to @jl35 , was the Signature worth the upgrade?
