I am soliciting recommendations for an integrated amplifier. My current system consists of a Leach LNF-1A power amp, a Hafler 101A pre-amp (I think that's the number), a Yamaha 810 (820?) tuner and Infinity RS-b speakers. I have decided that its time to upgrade the amp and pre-amp. (For those of you who would tell me to start with my speakers, thanks -- those will go some time.) I've decided I want an integrated amp because I want the convenience of shutting down the system with one power button, rather than turning off the pre-amp, waiting for the music to die (usually 3 or 4 seconds) and then turning off the amp. (Please, no flames about how lazy I am.) My requirements are (I hope) simple. I currently need inputs for one tape deck, one turn table and one tuner. Within the next year I expect to purchase a CD player and a Hi-Fi VCR, so I need inputs for these too. I only have one set of speakers, but "A B" outputs would be nice. A headphone plug would also be nice. I am less interested in the power output of the amp than I am in quality music. I am happy with the Yamaha tuner, but if you think I can do better with a whole new receiver, I am receptive to those comments as well. I would like to keep the price under $1000, but this shouldn't be a problem from what I've seen. I went out looking a couple of days ago, and these are the units I saw: Carver Receiver (no model number, apparently) Tandberg TIA 3012 Yamaha A-700 and A-1000 Denon PMA-737 Denon DRA-550 receiver harmon/kardon PM660 I would appreciate any comments/recommendations you can make on these or any that I missed. As usual, please mail your replies to me. I will summarize when the comments stop coming. Thanx, Neil Nelson Burroughs Advanced Systems Group . . .!sdcsvax!bmcg!asgb!nkn
