WTD: Vintage Integrated Amplifier
Really fancy a vintage Integrated.
Something big and chromey with wood, yes must have wood sides, top, bottom whatever.
A good phono stage is a must as will be pairing it with my LP12.
Bigger the better with power to spare. Also an Aux input as will also stream to said amp.
Will also consider a receiver but it must be in tip top condition with everything working, no dirty or crackly pots etc and a recent recap or service would be preferred.
Thinking around £500 but would stretch for the right Luxman or Accuphase.......:o)
Let me know what you’ve got!

There are Sansui and Pioneer within budget but then perhaps not the ones to be looking at.
There is a nice Pioneer SA8800 for around the money I’m looking for but it’s in Preston.
My issue with spending more or even like SA9800 money (£1500) is that the end of the day, it’s a 40 year old (+) amp and for that cash there are better options to be had with modern equipment.
Looks like I’ll have to rethink.
