I need a suggestion about which one I go for, "Techins SU V65, Technics SA 8055, NAD 326BEE, CA 351A" all are used,
 
I have a Technics SU V8 it plays very well. The Technics SU V65 is a 70 watt/channel amp where are the NAD just has 50 watt/channel. The Technics will any day beat out the NAD

this discussion is pointless without mentioning price and condition

Well, Price mention as below and all are running condition

Techicns SU V65 - Rs. 9500/- age around 40 years
Technics SA 8055 - Rs. 8000/- age around 35 years
NAD 326BEE - Rs. 14000/- age around 4-5 years
Cambridge Audio 351A - Rs. 18000/- age around 2-3 years
Cambridge Audio 651A - Rs. 20000/- age around 1-2 years
 
the NAD stands out for its signature Sound quality ( I am a fan of their sound)
The SU V65 is a brute with loads of power for the money

the rest are a bit unremarkable on my opinion

Do check out the norge 2060 also.

Technics - as mentioned before, It has too much power for its size also its kind of colored and Music not a Neutral.

NAD- Its a warm Sounding amp, Good for any classical music, But they lack in spark high frequency in case you like High-frequency

Cambridge is neutral amp, they Just give what you feed.Had listen to them they are decent and good but not amazing.

If you listen all kind of music and fine to have kid of bright sound, Technics V65 is good. But Negotiate on Price, since its 40 Years old amp.

I'd Pick the Cambridge Audio 651a which is a one of the most neutral and provides USB inputs, Remote and Enough power to drive any of the mainstream Speakers.

Since Most of the people get bored easily with the neutral sound signature and if you are looking for warmth, consider the NAD 326bee.

If you have a basic knowledge of amplifier troubleshooting, go ahead with the vintage amplifiers, otherwise the insecurities associated with them aren't manageable for most of the casual listeners. In my experience, Repairing them and getting spares is pretty difficult.

Is seller allowing them to listen? Then better listen and use your judgement
 
It's too broad a question without knowing other equipment, listening preference, room, etc etc. Definitely a case of free advice that will burn someone else's hard earned money.
