I purchased an Arcam 73T for $620 after discount and I would highly recommend it as it's right at the top of your price range.I also listened to the Cambridge Azur 640C which is less expensive than the Arcam. I liked it quite a bit but to my ear the Arcam was a step-up in overall sound quality. Good luck with your decision as component choices are never easy. I was very concerned the Arcam wouldn't live up to it's great reviews but so far I don't think at its price point I could have made a better choice.Enjoy.
