Inexpensive Integrated Amplifiers

This would be for those on a tight budget, or for a small second system. 

 

For $200, I think it would surprise a lot of folks. 

 

60 wpc, 80 wpc at 4 ohms. Smart design, good parts. Two inputs and a nice attenuator. 

 

Smooth, open - but does sound better with a preamp in front of it.

Absolutely agree. I picked a Topping T60 up to drive the B&W CDM1 I was using in the living room. Great little amp that hits well above its weight. I use a Schiit Saga with it: 1) to have more inputs, 2) because remote control is great in the living room and 3) because it does seem to sound better. :)

 

A bargain for $200. :)

$350 - 400? 

 

 

 

 

Played around with a finished TPA3250 amp that used a switching power supply (looks like a laptop PS) for $80 - $90 from Amazon. Replaced that PS with a 28v linear PS that cost $125 or so. Spent another $25 or so getting a heavy gauge cable to connect the PS to the amp. So ~$225 - $250 for everything.

 

All plug and play. No DIY required. :)

Kind of thought some others might drop

in with some recommendations - I guess not. 

I prefer more connectivity options. Would like to hear this one, though it's not an integrated and also over the stated price range. A stereo receiver with HMDI capability.

I purchased a Pass labs clone from this seller and as far as I can tell it is well built. I know it delivers on the sound. He has over a thousand products on ebay here one of his integrated amps. Im sure he has many more all at attractive prices.

That looks intriguing.
