Questions about Akai AM-U22

[crosstalk]

Hello,

The AKAI AM-U22 - is it a good amp for my TT Pioneer PL-11? That is would I need a separate pre-amp or directly use the amp?

What would be a reasonable price for the AM-U22?

FM Tanoj had put up an AM U33 for sale recently at 4K, so price should be in line. It appears to have a phono input, so you can use it directly

Thanks. The seller is in his dreams and asking for 12K for the U22. LOL.

Tanoj Had priced it reasonably. Generally 40-80WPC amps go for 8-12K, but 12k for a low end (25WPC) amp is way over the line
