Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I agree with Eli

Get a H&K Citation V amp and have it rebuilt. Less expense vs the H&K Citation II. The Citation II produces a little more power, the Citation V is powerful enough.

I also highly suggest a used Blueberry preamp that has a great phono section (about $750 used). This exceeds the budget, but you can operate a passive preamp as described by Eli for the time being.

The only amp I am aware of that may or may not outperform a rebuilt Citation V is a Marantz 8B power amp. These are about $2K+ before rebuilding.

Smart purchases now prevents losing money upgrading later to the superior gear.
