My Musical Fidelity A5.5 integrated amp served me well for several years but I got the itch. Early in 2020, a Pass Labs XP10 and X250.8 took its place. I upgraded my phono preamp to a Herron VTPH-2a recently and am loving it!
It is amazing how these smaller speakers can really produce good sound. Ensure you evaluate several good speaker cable to improve on midrange and bottom end.
