Pressure

I was also looking at Marantz PM5005 and a few other similar types.  But maybe there is some good vintage equipment that would be better suited for my situation?

I know the NAD doesn’t really fit that description,  but it’s close.

I’m trying to get this system as simple, minimal, and powerful as possible. Without blowing my budget.  I only listen to vinyl records, so I don’t need any other inputs other than an analogue for phono.  No need for video or cd etc...  So, I figured I could just bypass the receiver and go strait to an amp with two, maybe 4 channels.  Are there any good amps that fit this description, and is this all I need?

I was thinking of an NAD. C 316BEE V2 for an amp. And was wondering if that was all I needed?

No amp.  It was an old pioneer receiver that had a phono jack, so it had a built in preamp.  

I’ve got a pioneer PL-560 with no pre-amp.  And some pioneer cs-m755 speakers that run at 30-20000hz, 8 ohms, and max 150w.  

My receiver just went bad, and I was wondering if I could make a setup without a receiver? Do I need an equalizer with the amp?  Do I need a preamp before the amp?  What’s my optimal setup?

thanks
