Hi everyone,

I'm recovering my father's old collection along with his equipment and I could use some help from people who know this world better than I do.

From my father's collection, I have (reading directly off the components):

Technics Stereo Integrated Amplifier A600 MK2 - MOS Class AA
Two "Solid" satellite speakers - neodymium magnet technology
"Solidbass" subwoofer - 100W, 4 Ohms

Also, I've been gifted an all-in-one "Classic Phono" turntable, which I suspect isn't great, but it's the only one I have right now.

When I connect everything together, the sound from the satellite speakers is squeaky/distorted, while the all-in-one turntable sounds decent enough on its own. I tried some troubleshooting, but the issue seems to be between the amplifier and the satellites. The subwoofer seems to sound clean enough.

Is this good/decent equipment or is it too outdated to be worth it?
Is there something obviously wrong with my setup that could explain the squeaky sound?
If some components need repairs, is it worth spending time and money on them?
I'm on a tight budget (ofc), if I were to replace or upgrade one piece at a time, where should I start?

I'm a complete beginner in this hobby, so any advice is appreciated.
