Hi all,
New on here, and new to this world of hifi.
I'm looking to put together a system in my living room for listening to vinyl, budget-wise I'd like to keep it cheap but am happy to spend up to NZ$1000 if it means I will get to use them for a long time and get a good sound from them.
Unfortunately in New Zealand gear is much more expensive.
SPEAKERS
Currently I have a pair of old Technics SB-CD101 speakers which I'm hoping will do a good enough job to start.
TURNTABLE
I have an old technics turntable which I'll probably look to replace once I can save some money. Prices for options people seem to recommend on this site are:
Pro-Ject Debut III - NZ$649.00
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon 2M Red - NZ$690.00
Audio Technica AT-LP120 - NZ$599.00
Rega RP1 - NZ$775
I'm not sure if there are any acceptable cheaper alternatives? or some that look like good value on this list? http://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=47
AMPLIFIER
I'm probably going to buy an old used amplifier online, my current options are:
Marantz 1060 - $400
Kenwood KA-4004 - $160
JVC JA-S11 - auction (hopefully sub $100)
Pioneer SA6300 - auction (hopefully sub $100)
If anybody has some advice that could steer me in the right direction, help me avoid spending more than necessary or avoid buying a lemon that would be amazing, thanks!
