Hello,
I'm in the market for a new amp. I am looking at either the Rega IO or the Audiolab 6000A. I can get either for a decent price (the 6000A currently has a discount and will cost about 100 euro more then the IO)
I'm looking to hook either one of them up to my turntable and either a pair of Klipsch RP-500m or KEF Q150. I already have a DAC (Schiit Bifrost Multibit) which at the moment I have connected to my PC via USB and it's connected to a headphone amp.
I prefer the aesthetics of the Audiolab, however I do also find the all analog approach from the IO appealing. So I am mainly purchasing an amp for my turntable, I do listen to Spotify/Tidal from my PC, but mostly use my headphones doing so. I do like also having the option to play music from my PC to my speakers, but I can use my Bifrost for that (or the integrated dac from the 6000A). I will not use bluetooth.
My vinyl collection consists mostly of rock music and the space I will be using it in is a small office with a large desk + computer (nearfield listening.)
Anyone who tried both and can possibly share some thoughts? Thanks!
