I thought it was just the stylus that would wear out. But
because of the cost, it's just as easy to get a whole new
cartrige+stylus combined.

I've been pretty happy with generic consumer hi-fi AM/FM/
Receiver amp combos. I'm impressed with people's systems that
have dedicated amps for just for LP/CD use, but my listening
spaces have been relatively small over the years (mostly
apartments) so the difference in sound with a audiophile
quality amp vs a receiver would not be much.
