...what would you look for?
I've come here and poked around for a while, and most of you are operating at a caliber which I never will reasonably expect to, but, despite my much lower budget, I hope to draw on your expertise.
Downstairs, I have a couple thousand LPs and play them on another system that is unremarkable, and not what we're worrying about here.
Upstairs, I listen through my laptop, and that's what I'm looking to send through the amplifier in question. So, this is all going to start with files of varying quality passing through a stereo 1/8" jack. In terms of the recording quality of what I'm hoping to reproduce with the best fidelity one can expect for under $50, let's just say for the sake of argument that I listen to WFMU online all day and the quality is going to range from field recordings and 78s up to fine studio work.
I do have time to sit on craigslist and look at eBay and garage sales.
Anybody who tipped me to this forum & who already knows who this is, thanks, and be gentle.
I look forward to your input. Thanks again, all.
