I realize that I probably need to get a pre-amp and probably a receiver/amp as well). Anything of quality seems to be into the thousands of dollars new, so buying vintage older stuff definitely sounds appealing. But I like the idea of buying better-quality vintage gear, to be honest I'm not really sure what to look for to be able to tell whether something is worth it, or what possible issues it might have. You do see some nice looking vintage Sansui, Pioneer, Marantz etc on kijiji stuff though.

You don't have to spend a lot for new gear. I would check out the pre-amp that Drew mentioned earlier in the thread.

Combine that with some powered monitors like the Audioengine A5+ and you'll be set for under a grand. Although vintage is cool too.
