Recommended amplification?


I have a brand new pair of Ohm Walsh speakers and am driving them with a rather old Onkyo receiver (40 WPC at 8 ohms; Walshes are at 4 ohms). I'm interested in a used inexpensive amp upgrade but here are some requirements:

1. If I'm upgrading, I want more power.
2. Built-in phono stage.
3. Less than $500 used.

Also, what are some good CHEAP cables? Thanks!

Rgodin, I've been under the impression that integrated amps usually have better components than receivers and that separate pre-amps and amps cost much more than integrated amps. If that isn't true though, I would go for any economically reasonable choice. I'm usally Ohm Walsh Super 2s which are the current Walsh 100 S3 drivers in an old Walsh 2 cabinet.

Thanks for the other suggests so far!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally got an amp! I bought a Parasound HCA1000A amp and a P/HP-850 pre-amp here on Audiogon. Thanks for everybody's input!
