I'm hoping my Yamaha 1020 amp from 1987 never kicks the bucket. I'd be lost about what to buy as a replacement. This amp is a workhorse and still sounds so good. It has inputs for TWO turntables, and the phono switch includes adjustments for the type of phono cartridge you're using (MM or MC) and even minor adjustments within those. It has a powerful phono preamp.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this feature (the preamp) start to come back, what with the rising interest in turntables and LPs.
