Newbie: Need Help Finding An Amp/Receiver For My System

Posted by wolfordc@msu.edu on August 6, 2008 at 05:44:07:
Hey Everyone,

After help from other parts of the asylum my system is starting to come together. I have a Rega P1 TT, a set of Klipsch Forte II's, and a kenwood vr507 receiver. The receiever is definitely the weak link. I was thinking that I would like to go vintage so I could get something decent and save some money. My question would be, will actually be able to hear much of a difference in sound between the Kenwood and some vintage receiver for under $400? If so, do you guys have any recommendations. Also, will these old models continue to last or do they need a lot of service? I'm sorry to be asking dumb questions but I am just getting into this hobby and am not very informed yet.

Thanks
