Audio Systems: what kind of receiver do I need?, sony ps, b1000

Question
Hey, I recently got a Sony PS-LX250H turntable and SS-B1000 speakers but was told I need a receiver to hook it up. Can you recommend anything to me? Thanks a lot!

Answer
Well w/out knowing what application you would be using this for or what other equipment you will be using along w/the turntable I really can't give any specifics.  Your turntable and speakers are entry level equipment, and assuming you're wanting to spend about the same, at minimum you will need a stereo receiver with one analog input.  That being said pretty much any receiver in any price range will work.
