New Amplifier for Technics SL-D202
Hey y'all, I just got my turntable fixed, but the repair guys couldn't figure out what was wrong with my amplifier (Sansui Integrated Amplifier AU-217)! It makes this horrible sound out of just the left channel and I figure it's just time to get a new one.
Any good recs of amp for the turntable I've got (Technics Direct Drive Automatic Turntable System SL-D202)?
I'm not looking for the world's nicest amp, as i'm not the biggest audiophile. But I would like something that is good enough to last a long time (and a 20 hr road trip).
I like my setup of turntable > amplifier > speakers, so i don't want a preamp or anything. Just something I can basically swap it out for. 2 Channels preferred, since that's all I really need.
Open to repair advice, too, so I can point the repair guys in the right direction.
I've got some speakers that don't have any marking on em, probably no more than 2ft tall by 1ft wide and deep. Usually like 5-10 feet away from me, on the floor. They're just connected with some standard speaker wire.
Also looking to have an aux option for a TV.
Budget: <$400
