W/ $200 what amp would you buy?

I am looking for an inexpensive amp. There are plenty of options to choose from here. The intent is a small 2 channel system for vinyl in a spare room.

Systemdek IIX (DL-110) TT
PS Audio PS-IV preamp
Polk Monitor-4A's

Thanks in advance

I can tell you from personally experience that the Rotel RB-951 MkII is one heck of an amp. Rated @ 50w per channel, but way under-rated. Sweet little amp.

Yeah, the "usual suspects": old NAD, Rotel, Adcom. But if you can get a Hafler for that price, I might go for that.

Last I knew, you could get a McCormack DNA 0.5, basic version for about $500, great little amp......

Amber series 70 amp less than 150.00 on Ebay and built better then most high end in its time. They sound wonderful top to bottom and will not bleed your ears like most SS built even now.
