this is what i'd really love, a receiver with a phono / fm. unfortunately, all the ones that i've found are older and i'm not terribly interested in vintage anymore. they're cool, don't get me wrong. it just seems terribly overpriced given what's available in the newer market.
receiver or preamp
hi yall. i listen to music only (no movies) and then only the fm radio or records. currently, i've been running a receiver > power amp > speakers, but i don't like my receiver and it's developing quirks i no longer want to put up with.
i was going to replace my receiver but kinda got 'scolded' by nobody i know for not just buying a tuner and a preamp. i certainly don't need the extra functions of a receiver but is it that foolish to go with a receiver (as an fm tuner / preamp)? i've got less than a grand in my system total and will likely only ever replace my phono preamp and maybe my cartridge after this. my logic is i can spend 200 on a receiver or spend 500 on a pre and a tuner. receiver seems the logical choice as we don't sit and absorb our music, we just have it on as we go about our days doing whatever. thank you.
