Wanted Amp with Phono stage (Nait, Audiolab. or exposure. musical fidelity, Marantz PM17

[Tiredeyes69]

Hi, Im looking for an Amp to run my Rega Plana 3 TT
I have two speakers (8 ohm and 87dB, so I am told, from my good friend Paul who made them)
I will need to plug in a Sub in the near future as funds allow.
(I guess no need for a FM/AM/DAB as a streaming separate would allow internet radio?
I also will look for a streamer sooner rather than later.
Would also get a separate cd and tape players.
I understand a Nain Nait Integrated 5 at £300 would be my best bet. But happy to look at Arcam also?
I am a complete noob, but looking forward to learning from the lovely people on this forum.
Might be open to a Sansui, Sony or Technics.

If you're looking at a budget around £300 id be looking at an Audiolab. or exposure amp or maybe an older musical fidelity , going a little higher maybe something like a Marantz PM17 as all of theses have decent phono stages that play mm & mc , I would recommend a cheap moving coil above any mm cartridge.

not too far from you and got a spare arcam a75 and practically new marantz cd player for little cost . a75 has phono and remote

The Naim doesn’t have a phonostage

@Tiredeyes69 you won't go wrong with that Arcam from @hifinutt

I have a few tape decks depending on your budget and I'm in Bromsgrove.

Just to add I am not neither do I know the seller but this is a very good buy with a decent starter phono stage, looks aren't to everyones taste but a great amp for the asking price worth a cheeky offer IMO.

Did you see this in the classifieds? The pre-amp has phonostage for MM & MC I think

Are you sorted now?

Are you sorted now?

Yes, thanks Dude.
Got a musical Fidelity B1 which is just sublime sound. Also had a Sherington graphic equaliser form the 80’s with many cool looking shooty bars which I love. Got laptop plugged into the B1 and Spotify is sounding really very good.
And the Rega of course.

Technics suv450? Cleaned inside and out and pots and dials cleaned. 50 wpc. Phono stage. Must admit it looks very nice but I don’t use it.

I wish I could but afraid not. £95 plus p&p is best I can do. PM me if you’re interested. No problem if not 👍
