There are huge phonebook sized catalogs with everything in them as well as online shops that sell everything.
But yeah, If I NEED a cheap a pre-amp on the double, why not buy a cheap AVC receiver from the pawn shop and simply remove it. Those things typically have convenient insultated wires for their I/O.
I've been known to bust a cheap pair of computer speakers apart to steal the amplifier out of them. In that case I leave enough of the wiring that is attached to the PCB so I can twist a new one into place.
