Hi everyone! I'm kinda newbie in this wonderful world of high-end audio. I would appreciate some advice on how to set up a good high-end audio system, something not too expensive yet of high quality. Some questions: is it better to have an integrated amplifier or to have a power amplifier and a pre-amplifier? Tube vacuum or solid-state? Are valve equalizers available today and are they advisable or necessary? What speakers should I use? What turntables do you recommend? Is there a guide on the web so I can consult? Thanks in advance for your attention!
