| Building a new system for about 5 grand Surprised Schiit’s offerings haven’t been mentioned. Also the NuForce STA-200 for $500 at Audio Advisor is remarkable value. Music Direct has close-outs at up to 50% off. There were some Wharfedales at 1K marked down to $500. | |

| What integrated would you recommend for summer amp? I'm guessing the Nagra was a little over 1K, the OP's goal.Nothing too tempting at 1K on the 'gon right now. | |

You think you've added or changed a component, but then you have to click on save or add or somesuch right at the bottom scrolling down, or your addition is not actually saved when you navigate away from that page. | |
