Hi All
Just wanted to say hi and to let you know I have just got back into proper hifi again,
Yes I went into the all in one out of the box type stereo for space saving and convenience (shameful I know) and then Christmas 2016 my dear mum bought me a record player (if you can call it that) from a local supermarket and I fell in love with vinyl all over again even though the sound quality out of the built in speakers was shameful so I thought I would treat myself to a budget separates set up much to my wife's anger as apparently the record player sounded fine (yeah if your tone deaf) ha ha
So this week I bought
1 - LENCO L85 Turntable rrp £99 but REDUCED on Amazon for £66.74
2 - NAD C 320bee amp pre owned but in fab near mint condition for £110
I already had a pair of Q Acoustics 3010 speakers boxed away and kept safe so I hooked them up to my budget Turntable and Amp and wow am I impressed,the sound quality is fab and even better than my Denon N9 which I had and this is vinyl on a budget Turntable,so far I'm very happy as I haven't spent a fortune,just need a CD player now but am going to hook up a Google Chromecast Audio for my streaming needs
Now I know to some of you this is probably a shameful set up being rather cheap but for me I'm very happy so far
Thanks for reading all and boy am I glad to be back in the world of clear audio
