Hey guys i am looking to sell my B&K Reference 10 and my Marantz ST170DC Amp and buy a newer integrated stereo amp. I am looking to spend around $1000. I have a pair of LSi9's and a Thorens TD280 MKII turntable. I would like to find something that has a phono input. Any suggestions on something in that price range that would be nicer than what i currently have would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

    krell 300xi, Musical fidelity x-150, A3.5... Primare... cant' remember the model, but I think they only have one intergrated. I've been very impressed with all of these. The MF 150 might look a little weak on the wattage, but I think it's got the same power supply as the 3.5, so it can toss out some major current and has no trouble with low impedence speakers.

    Someone else around here should be able to tell you more about Sim moon Audio- I don't have much experience with them, but there should be some used ones in your range.

    edit: Missed the part about phono input. X-150 has one, A3.5 does not, can't remember on the rest. The MF A5 does, but that's getting out of your price range.
