I have used the same integrated amp and tuner since 1972 (Kenwood KA-6000, KT-7000). The amp finally died. So I went to look for a replacement. My spouse wanted something that would handle the significant amount of digital music she has collected on her Mac, iPad and iPods. I have an old turntable I still use so I wanted something with Phono input. I also have a mix of older and newer peripherals so the outputs range from RCA only to USB and HDMI. I am unable to find a single component solution (integrated amp that can handle my eccletic mix). I have no interest in more than 2 speakers (no 2.1, 5.1, 7.2). Is there any way to deal with all this without replacing existing working components or spending more than $700?
All ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
