best budget integrated amp?

[RGA]

Actually you know you could very well be better of buying used. I bought a used Sugden A48b for $400.00Cad. With something like the Sugden you are getting a significant step up from IMO any amplifier that I have ever heard from any of these companies.

You may not get the features like a remote control but there is a certain amount of added pleasure knwoing you are getting something that is a considerable step-up than the entry level units and this is on top of better sound.

I'd be looking at used amps from Sugden A28, A48B and if you really luck out the A21a, Audio Refinement "Complete" or YBA Integre DT,Arcam Delta 290 integrated. You could look for amps from Roksan, Creek Audio etc.

Amplifiers are about as safe a second hand buy as you can get.

I totally agree, if you are prepared to buy second hand, (with a good audition) then some far nice equipment is on offer
