Lots of votes for the HK Citation V. Can't disagree with this - I agree that's it's an excellent choice; both the HK Cit II and V are excellent. I already have a C-J PV-12A preamp (it has the optional phono stage which I feel sounds excellent) and Thalmann updated MV-75 amp. The imperfectly set up systems I've got cobbled together primarily for demonstration purposes with the intention to sell this larger, heavier gear is sounding pretty darned nice (even a bit surprisingly so), and I could just keep it, but it's gotta go. Smaller and less pricey still is what I need. Sure, a simple passive and a smaller-chassis amplifier might not be too much larger than an integrated. Fair enough, and it might be a good way to go.

Eli, I'd most certainly appreciate some more information on a good passive pre set up. I can certainly build, or mod, just about anything. Designing just about anything is a different story.

I'll look into a Cit V, as well as some of the other recommendations. Some I'm familiar with, some not.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions!
