As Narrod suggests, 70's era equipment is your best bet in the $100 price range. If you don't care for the tuner section I would suggest a Yamaha CA-600 to 800 integrated amp. For receivers, a Yamaha CR-600 to 800 series or a Harmon Kardon 730 (if memory serves). All have phono sections. There are other choices. I just have had good experiences with these. There are some nice units still out there and they are really well built. These are on ebay quite often.
Solid integrated pre amp for beginner?
Hey --
So Im PUMPED because I just received in the mail my first turntable -- a brand new Rega P1 that I snagged on eBay (for $250 incl shipping - good price, right?)
Now I have to complete my setup. I need a good integrated pre amp (I'm looking to spend in the $100 range) as well as some good speakers (in the $200 range, maybe?).
Would love any suggestions or help. Looking forward to hearing it all together.
thx
