Hey all, this is my first post on here though I have been reading a lot of threads over the past few months to aid in building my system (so thank you for that).
Thus far I have purchased the Denon DRA-800H Stereo Receiver and yesterday ordered a set of the Q Acoustics 3030i Speakers with the stands. The next piece of the puzzle for me is a turntable (I have only recently started collecting vinyl, only have 26 records so far) and wanted to ask for some advice please. I am very new to vinyl, so wanted to ask for some advice on the following please:
1. Any particular turntable you would recommend me purchasing to work well with the kit mentioned above? My budget would ideally be £300, though willing to consider going as high as £500 if a superb option is suggested.
2. I have a query around cabling, as researching online there are a lot of differing opinions on this. For the speaker cables I am considering picking up some QED XT25 cables, would these be a good choice or should I look at an alternative? And also with the HDMI cables from my devices (Xbox Series X, Sky Q box, eventually turntable) to the receiver, is there a particular type of HDMI cable I should be looking at purchasing please?
Any advice/tips offered would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
