First of all ,hello! first post from a newcomer.
Decided to set up my old hifi stuff, discovered amps had died an turntable needed attention.............Time for a change but circumstances dictate that I only have a micro-budget to get replacements.
So a lot of researching and reading reviews and forums, finding low cost items that people seem more than satisfied with. I am in UK so suppliers manufacturers may not always be familiar to members from elsewhere.
It is as much home theatre as hi-fi, this is what I have so far:
MUSE S7 APE FLAC Player +TDA7498L Digital T-amp Amplifier £45.00
Used but VG condition Bush MTT1 turntable ( Lots of old LPs to rediscover) This TT got a great 5 star review in What HIFI when it came out. Voted best sub £100 turntable..... Will do for me...Paid £25 inc del.
10 mtrs 16SWG 76 strand speaker cable. Cost. Peanuts
Pair of 4" cube speakers from Amazon (UK).....I was searching for a good "Brand" name pair of bookshelf speakers, and of course nothing that met the specs was within budget.
Thats when I saw the Amazon ones...80w (peak) 8ohm, sensitivity 90! that surprised me...........described as dual cone full range.Got some fantastic reviews, some from knowledgeable hifi folk.
Thought worth a try. £14
This set up will incorporate a Sony Bluray player, a 32" Hanspree flat screen and a Humax HB1000s500GB Freesat box. (already have these)
PS the TT has preamp built in.
I really hope I have got the mix right and it will sound OK.Will not know until it is set out and powered up.
