Hi everyone,
I am a proud papa this weekend. My daughter has been after me for a few months to set up a vinyl rig in her room and this weekend we put it together. She is upstairs happily spinning "Vampire Weekend: Contra" as we speak (thank you, Urban Outfitters!)
The setup could be more compact, so I am seeking recommendations for decent tube integrated amps with phono sections that can handle MM cartridges and have a reasonably small footprint.
A few come to mind - Dyna SCA-35 and a couple of Eico's, but these have gotten pretty dear in the last few years. Any sleepers out there that sound reasonable, but don't cost an arm and a leg?
TIA,
David
