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.
