Thank you Max!

A Sansui is indeed what I already have, the amp that died. I never liked
Yamaha though; have a Yama surround amp and it's awful for music (but
pretty good for movie noise).

I'm going to investigate the "tape loop" idea. It never occurred to me.

Try the Yamaha integrated amplifiers and receivers. Please note than you
can use a tape loop to connect your equalizer, which circumvents the need
for pre out/main in such as older amplifiers had. Simply connect the
input of the eq to "tape out" and the output of the eq to "tape in".

OR you could go the vintage route and look for a used Sansui integrated
amp, or even some sort of pre/power combo. Check the used sections of
local hi-fi shops, and they will likely be able to help you find a cost
effective solution.

I need a new amp.

It must have a phono connection, and pre-out/main-in,
since I'm using Bose 901 loudspeakers which have a
compulsory equalizer.

At least 2x70 watts.

Anyone have anything to recommend?

Your budget is what?

No comments about a gold-plated toilet?

Sorry George, I don't get the metaphor.
