I’m looking to replace my Arcam AVR200 for a vintage amp.
Reasons being are that i don’t particularly like the look of the thing and want a bit of nostalgia from my youth, but also something that will work well with my Arcam power amp (for now) and Thorens TD160.
My budget is £300 and my question is how good of an amp will i get for that sort of money?
The sort of thing i very much like the look (visual) of are…

But i need pre outs and the ability to accommodate banana terminated speaker cables. Is this possible with amps of this vintage?
Also and most important, does anyone have anything that suits for sale? I’d much rather buy on here than take a wild punt on Ebay.
Thanks
