It really all comes down to what your prepared to spend. While they
still
make a multiply system, Amp / tuner / cassette tape player / and possible
also a CD player / I doubt you will also get a turntable. unless you can
find a 2nd hand unit.
So it might be time to buy separate items, then if one feature goes
down
your not forced to replace the lot.
You don't speak about your speakers so possibly they will also need
up-dating, So a combined system might be the order of the day, which
might
also include compatible speakers, then buy a separate CD player and
possibly
a turntable.
But in any event, your going to have to spend considerably more then you
did
20 years ago.
