Hi everyone! First post here for me.
My father passed away a few years ago and I inherited his vinyl collection as well as his turntable. In a pinch to get it up and running, I got a crappy amp as well as a decent(?) preamp to power my DIY Tritrix speakers.
Unfortunately the turntable has a bad motor. I am more attached to the vinyl collection than the turntable (its not a great model), so I am thinking of upgrading my system.
The speakers are good, and I think the preamp is ok. I am looking for a new turntable and 2 channel amp. I have a good idea of what I am going to get to replace the turntable (Probably the Fluance RT82) but I am struggling to find an amplifier.
I have two young kids (2 and 4) that love listening to music with me while they jump around and "dance". We play vinyl as well as silly kid songs. This is why I need bluetooth with the amp. I use my phone to play kids stuff for them.
My question then is this: What is the best amp I can get for my money that will play my vinyl faithfully as well as having bluetooth connectivity for silly kids music. I'm also a little confused about what a DAC is. Do I need an amplifier with a DAC to play music over bluetooth?
My budget is $200, but I am interested in any options from $50 up to the max.
Thanks for any help!
