The Primaluna PL2 40W UL KT-88 amp is a sound choice around your price used. They dont come up too often and hold their resale..but it has a wonderful sound and can drive most speakers including Vandy's well. The PL1 35W EL-34 based amp would likely do as well. But the Two will boogie like the big boys with refinement. Make sure you have a quality Phono stage..that most important to get your vinyl sounding good and get the best from your integrated.. The PL2 also has an optional MM phono stage built in if you need that. Best of luck!
Vandersteen 1C - Best Integrated For Vinyl Lovers?
Can anyone out there please provide a suggestion or two for an integrated amp which will work nicely with Vandersteen 1C's - particularly for vinyl listening?
I'm open to pretty much anything used/new costing up to $1K - I listen to quite a lot of electric guitar music, so having a good solid low end would be my main concern.
Currently using a Nakamichi SR-3A with a Rotel RP-955 turntable, which certainly sounds pleasing - I just wish I wouldn't have to turn it up so loud to feel the bass properly. This is only the case when listening to vinyl, and not CD's. Subs are not an option due to the room size.
Any help is appreciated!
