Hi
I will get an AKG K1000 in few days and i dont have any setup to power it up. My current setup is flac -> DAC Magic -> Gilmore Lite -> AKG601. I guess the most feasible solution would be to replace my Gilmore lite with a suitable amp. My budget is around 200-350 pounds. My research so far has given me the following options.
1. A Red Wine Audio modified Teac AL700P is for sale for around 240 pounds. Reviews suggest that they are good.
2. Some MINI hifi system (DENON, TEAC) which contains a CD Player and a USB input with a built in amplifier. This option will help me to get rid of my DAC Magic hence saving my wallet a bit.
3. Some dedicated speaker amplifier which falls within my budget. Not sure how much watts is sufficient and i dont want to blow the K1000 by buying a powerful amp. Also I can use the amp to power my speakers.
Owners of K1000, please suggest? I am ok if the setup can deliver 95% of what the K1000 can deliver.
