in the market for a new amplifier to be used for records only, we have stero & av system set up in the same room
currently running a rega planar 3 with neo ps into mission cyrus 2 (last version) with psx, latest ma bronze floorstanders
av has a marantz nr1711, ma bronze centre/stand mount rears with l&r fronts connected to both amps using a beresford splitter
works fine though the other half would prefer a less complicated set up
had settled on auditioning a rega brio as liked the idea of an all british vinyl system but then wondering about removing the beresford & the extra cables to simplify things & had initially thought only option was an amp with HT bypass (eg audiolab 6000a) but this article suggests i can use the pre out from the marantz to connect it to any stereo amp (with a bit of volume matching)
so question is can the brio be used with the pre out & is it a lot of faff to do so, or am i better off looking at an amp with ht bypass?
has anyone done this?
budget around £600 but could go higher if made significant improvement
listen to a range of music from ambient to guitar based rock
