Hi all, my first post here. I have a limited amount of money to spend on a new audio system. I have been doing my homework and require the following;

Turntable
CD player, possibly SACD
Streaming device with MQA capability for a Tidal (and others) subscription
150 Watts or so stereo amplifier
Floor standing loudspeakers

My current system is a hotch potch Of stuff I have picked up gratis or for buttons. My budget is £3000. Not much but that’s it I’m afraid.

This is what I am thinking of;

Bluesound Node or Node 2 for the streamer
Rega turntable
B&W 684 S2 or 683 S2 loudspeakers

I need some help please with suggestions for a CD player and also for an amp with enough inputs for the 3 sources. Also, are the 683 S2 worth the extra over the 684 S2 loudspeakers? The amp and CD player will ideally have an app for my iPad and iPhone but failing that IR remote will suffice.

Anything else I should consider or any suggestions for alternative kit?

Thanks in advance.

Andrew
