    After a rather unimpressive experience with a cheap phono stage (ground hum and dull sound) I've come to the conclusion that in order to get a decent one at this level it'd cost more than just selling my Denon and getting a whole new amp with a built in one!

    As such I'm looking for an integrated in good condition with a phono stage and earth point, I've had a Marantz for years and really noticed a change in sound (for the better to my ears) when I got my Denon, I was also bored with it so really I'd consider anything but a Marantz.

    Budget - £100 or less, which should be plenty for an old amp, the Denon cost just £50 :MILD:

    Cheers!

    try to hunt down an old rotel RA-820.. it has a nice phono stage. I got one for £20 once.

    If you can find one one budget, or stretch a little, the cyrus III is a superb sounding little amp with a good phono stage again. That said, you should get a cyrus 2 for your cash easilly, and that has a great phono stage.

    Damn :( What I've ended up with should be a bargain too, though not going to say too much until it get's here (IF it gets here..)

    Perhaps someone else may fancy it?
