Extreme low budget amp w phono & "reputation"?


Doing some research for someone who's going through some hard times and is currently on a fixed income. Are there any new 2 channel phono input equipped integrated amps or recievers to be found which sport somewhat of a "giant killer" reputation and which can be had for less than $300 and preferrably less than $200? Same question as per used equipment...

This unit would be playing a Dual turntable/Shure V15 IV, a mid-fi CD player, and 2 tape decks thru an early '90s pair of Klipsch Forte's. Thanks in advance...

There is a Tandberg 3012 integrated on Audiogon for $395, perhaps the seller would deal a bit. This is an *outstanding* integrated with a very good phono section:

Also, Yamaha A960 - *very* nice vintage integrated. Here on Audiogon for $155:

Good luck!
