My old two channel pre-amp has gone coo-coo. Time to go shopping.

I am looking at Rotel as I am very happy with my existing CD player.
Should I go for a integrated amp or should I go for a pre amp
connected to a power amp?

Please advice.

Yeah, one of those. They'll both play music. Unless you go really
cheap or seriously looney-audiophile they'll both probably be the most
transparant piece of your system. Obviously you'll chose something
with the facilities you require. What do you want us to say?

Hi Lawrence,

Two very important things I want from the amp -

1. Phone MM/MC inputs
2. Headphone outputs.

I would love a pre-power combo if both these features are supported by
Rotels. If not may be the Marantz will do the trick for me unless you
suggest another reliable brand in that price range.

Cheers

Max
