integrated amp with phone for graham ls6 under $4000 new


looking for an integrated amp with phono stage under $4000 for my graham audio ls6 speakers to be used with a rega p3 with haha sh and node x. considering naim xs3 and marantz 30. anyone made a comparison, especially the phono stage? marantz 30 can play mc or mm cartridges so i’m leaning that way. also supposed to have a great phono stage. also considering (but it is a bit more) the Exposure 3510 Integrated Amplifier with phono or sugden with a cheap external mc/mm phono like Cambridge Audio Alva Duo. looking for a new product, so around $4000 new is my price point. mostly listen to jazz and classic rock in a medium sized room. thanks!

i meant when looking at wires for sale, most say 3.5mm or 5mm. i wasn’t sure if there was a danger of damaging amp or speaker if using the wrong type or wrong length, is there? currently i have about 6 feet each from my old amp to each speaker  of this cheap wire “wire path bulk wire by snap pan speaker14awg 2c 105 strand oxygen free copper”. would that work for the time being or think i should get the blue jeans?

The measurements you list are in “mm” not meters, so I would say they are in reference to the size of the binding post a spade lug fits, thus does the speaker binding post measure 3.5 or 5mm in diameter.  Wrong size spade lugs = a big problem.

guess i listed it wrong, these are the ones i was looking at “LFD Spiroflex Speaker Wire Pair 5 meters” but they’re $675 and i’d rather start with my cheap ones listed above if it will sound “okay” and not cause any damage to the speaker or amp

Here ya go! The cable you are using will not damage the speaker or amp!

I recommend Belden 12 gauge from Blue Jeans with locking bananas. If you’re using 6 feet now, order 8 feet to get a little positioning flexibility. Later on you can fool around with more expensive cables.
