I'm totally new to this, but I've been reading around on here for quite awhile, and can't seem to find some answers - so i'm going to ask for help...

I'm totally new to this, but I've got a small vinyl collection, and a considerable FLACC collection as well.

From what I've read, I think I'm going to want tube phono preamps for my vinyl, but possibly integrated power amps for my digital library. How can you effectively mix these two?

Right now I'm going with the Rega P3-24 w/the elys 2, and I'm considering the Bellari VP130 as my phono pre, but this is where I'm stuck. Run it to an integrated power or save some money up and keep the tubes going? I'm going to be going with 2 aperion 6Ts since I can't find a Monitor Audio dealer down here. Also, I'd like to upgrade my DAC to a Musical Fidelity X-DAC too, but that may have to wait...
