Hello all...I'm new to this forum, and the specifics of the audio world. I just started collecting vinyl, and I'm looking to find an amp to pair with my kenwood turntable and Boston A-70 Series II floor standing speakers. The amp would be used mainly for vinyl, so I'm looking for one with a good phono stage. Also, I'm on a tight budget, so I'm trying to spend 60 dollars or less on ebay (including shipping). I know this is being picky, but does anyone have any suggestions? It'd be greatly appreciated...

then buy a cheap phono stage for like 30 bucks.lol.

It may sound crazy but at least it would work, and sound somewhat decent I guess. Maybe. I dunno for sure. Im just throwing out a quick idea. 60 bucks is hard man. Ok im leaving now.haha

used audio dealer, pawn shop, or craigslist. Cant really recommend an amp cuz theres too many variables. Budget being the biggest.

Vintage Sansui maybe an option. Very nice receivers and Integrateds.

Good suggestion Vader. I love those A70's Erik, if you ever want to get rid of them you know where to find me! Hey, I just bought an excellent Sansui 6060 and it sounds excellent with my Boston's...cost $75 shipped. Better yet keep an eye out on Craigslist...found a Sansui G5000 for $30. Believe me both of these pieces sound excellent. Good luck Erik.
