Hi There,
I'm just looking for some advice on building a nice sound system with the right mix of retro vs current technology for my budget.....
It's going to be in my study/chill-out room/man-cave, so it's not a huge space.....
This is what I have so far....
B&O Beogram 4002
NAD PP3i Pre-Amp
Little Dot 3 Tube Headphone Amp
(all this plugged into a crappy stereo through the 'AUX')
This is what I'm thinking of.....
Denon DM39 CD Hi-Fi Unit (love the look of this and it gets great reviews)
Monitor Audio BX2 Speakers (also good reviews and not too expensive)
Linn LK100 or Marantz PM6005
I am thinking about buying the items above and was just wondering what people thought of this set-up?
I'm pondering over the amplifier....don't know whether to go for a 2nd hand Linn or a new Marantz, I like the look of the old Marantz Amps but they are well expensive now...(even compared with last year)....Looks like the Linn would be a good option or the new Marantz....I can't decide, or does anyone have any other suggestions?
I'm thinking I probably should have went for a more mainstream turntable (something like the Pro-Ject Essential 2 but I fell in love with the B&O at the time!! I might change it in time....)
Anyway does anyone have any thoughts or advice they could give me?
Thanks.....
