Any good cheap integrated amps?


Does anyone have recommendations for an under-$300 integrated? I'm looking for a system for my office, driving 91db monitors with a NAK MB-10 CDP and CAL Gamma DAC. Thinking about Cambridge or Musical Fidelity, probably used. Suggestions greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

I think the NADs are fine. Just bought a C350 for a bit more than $300 for my office, but you can find a C340 for less I think. I decided to get the NAD over the Cambridge because the mark-up from the UK to the USA on Cambridge is ridiculous. They sell for 100 UKP less than the NAD in the UK but are about the same list price here. You can find reviews by the same reviewers at HiFiChoice and maybe WhatHiFi. Also see the reviews at AudioReview.com. The NAD is very easy to listen to, grain free, just a little soft on top and bottom and somewhat limited in dynamics, but with your speakers in an office that shouldnt be a problem. As long as you don't expect sonic holography with a cheap integrated you wont be dissapointed.
I agree, hard to go wrong w/NAD integrateds for budget systems, I use a C350 as well for my home office system. Denon DCM-370 disk changer, vintage Kenwood tuner, and a Sony satellite receiver, little 20" TV, older Energy Pro .5 monitor speakers, Rat Shack cabling. It's actually a nice sounding office system! One question--you said you got your C350 for a little over $300? Do you mind me asking how much? I thought I got a good deal for mine new at $380 delivered, but it sounds like mebbe not :-(
Semantics. "A bit more" evidently means something different to me. I paid a little less than you did, delivered.
You might also want to look into a nice used integrated or receiver from the 70s. Many of them were built great, cost quite a bit at the time, and may sound better than a cheaper modern integrated.
