I took a short break today and learned that Electronics Servicenter in downtown Philly, which was an excellent and very accessible shop, is out of business. The closest repair shops are a half-hour drive away.
So, after some quick online research, I ordered a Yamaha R-S500 receiver... from B&H. It will hook up to my Pioneer PL-12D turntable and EPI 100 speakers just fine, and if I ever get an iPod or iPhone it will hook up to them, too. Thanks to all who commented.
