Hello all,

I suspect that my question and system is probably well below the standards of this forum but here goes:

It seems that my 45-ish year old Sansui Au-717 has finally given up the ghost. The left channel seems to intermittently cut out and then back in. I need to do some more trouble shooting the verify that it's the Amp, but I have a bad feeling that it is. My priority is to play vinyl and I would prefer to stay analog, if possible for a reasonable price. Reasonable is the <$500 range.

Any recommendations?
Is staying analog a good idea?

I'm gonna miss the old girl....

Thanks,
Ski
