I'm new to seperates. Been looking at older NAD, Rotel, Carver, Parasound equipment on ebay. But found nothing. I want good quality, but age isn't a big deal if it works good. Want to spend less than $100.

I plan on hooking up a phono, CD, Tape Deck, and SDA 2.3s to it.

Standard equip not worth bragging about.

    I have a cosmetically challenged Yamaha AVC-50 for $75 shipped....I was going to post it with some other gear tonight. It's the only Pre-Amp that I have unboxed with pre-outputs.

    The cosmetic issue is spotting on the front panel but it looks much better after I cleaned it up properly. I'll snap some photos in a few.

    It has a huge amount of inputs, including phono.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Looks like the avc-50 is an integrated amp. I know yamaha usually puts preouts on their stuff, but I'd prefer a preamp seperate with a tuner. Thanks.

    I got a Rotel rsp960. its actually a pro logic pre, but I used it for over a year as a 2 channel pre with very good results. I was selling it in the flea market for 130 shipped, but if you want it for 100 shipped, it will save me posting it on ebay

    I do not have the remote for it, but it will outperform any sub 100 pre on the planet

    it does not have a phono pre however, so this might rule it out for you

    I've got a clean Rotel RT-940AX tuner w/ remote and manual I'd be willing to part with for $100.
