Hey guys, first timer here.
I inherited my father's old stereo setup.
Amp: Technics SU-V65A (https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/su-v65a.shtml)
Speakers: Technics SB-X300A (https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/sb-x300a.shtml)
At the time of writing I have a broken channel on the amplifier and I was looking to perhaps buy a second-hand (vintage) amp to replace the current one. I also have a broken Marantz 1090 which has the seem issue: one channel is broken, or only works sporadically. I've been scouring the interwebs and I'm completely lost. When I read some threads on fora I stumbled upon Sansui amplifiers. I think they look great, and people seems to be of the opinion that they don't make bad amps. In my vicinity I have found a Sansui AU-D9 for 270$. Would this be a good buy?
On the other hand, I don't have that much money to spare at the moment so maybe a bit cheaper would be okay. But as I said, im completely lost on what's a decent affordable vintage amp.
What would be the best way to go here?
