You'll find the best quality and prices online. However, an amp shouldn't be necessary at all for one TV, except where the downlead cable is longer than 75 feet. An amp also won't do anything to help if the real reason for this reception issue is that the antenna or downlead are deteriorating due to age, or there's a bad connection, water ingress or corrosion developing somewhere. So please do some troubleshooting of the antenna and downlead first.
Replacing the downlead with RG-6 coaxial cable, and the coax transformer used to attach the cable to the antenna, is a good first step for two reasons: The downlead frequently goes bad before the antenna does, and this stuff is inexpensive -- maybe $30 or so. If new cable doesn't help, then it's time to consider getting a new antenna.
Trust me on this one: There are lots of pre-amps sitting in storage boxes in basements and garages throughout the country not because they're faulty, but because they weren't needed in the first place.
