Hello
I agree with Hoopster, Older Yamaha ca-600 or ca 800, I own both and they are very good, dont get the Ca-610 or ca-810 they are just ok, not great, In that price range a pioneer sa-737 reciever is good too, no ic chips and the sound is real good. If you can spend 400 to 500 get an Accuphase e-202 it will SHOCK you.
oh and theres the nad 3020
good luck!
