Evening Gents
I'm attempting to build my first real set-up, and I could use some advice. I'm looking to buy a Rega RP1 for my turntable, and Wharfedale Diamond 10.1's for my speakers, but I'm a little lost in the whole amp/pre-amp department. Forgive my noobishness, but I gotta ask, do I need one, the other, or both? I've been perusing models and the forums but I'm still having difficulty grasping what I need and what is extra fluff (bearing in mind that I'm a poor student and looking to spend only $1500 or less on my set up). If you can overcome your exasperation with this oft-repeated question and fly some suggestions my way, I'd greatly appreciate it.
