Entry level questions about how to play vinyl.

I've slowly yet surely have been drawn into this hobby by my friend, and am looking at buying a system, now my extremly rookie question is what is exactly needed to play vinyl? my friend says if i get a turntable i should get a Rega P1 since they sound decent and are pretty well priced for quality, but beyond that, i'm not really certain. would i be able to run a turntable thru something like this?

Advice on warm sounding speakers/CD player for bright amp

Hi,

I have purchased an Exposure 2010S integrated amp. It is a great amp, but somewhat bright sounding with my current big box store, 10 year old speakers.

I am looking for recommendations on warm sounding speakers that would be a good match with a bright amplifier. Can be bookshelf or floorstanding. Budget: $1,250-$3,000.

Also, would a warm sounding CD player work to lessen some of the amps brightness? What CD players are known as having a warmer sound? I'm currently using a Cambridge Audio 540C v1.

What about cables?

Thanks!

Listener version 0.2 (just a bit of evolution)

Hello Guys,

I checked the rega gear yesterday: following your advice and given my budget, i was going for:

planet 2000,
brio3
epos 22mi.

It is my first purchase and i would love to have it new.
Therefore i had to move from planet 2000 to apollo.

For the amp, i was looking to brio3, but the sales pushed for the mira3 ("the volume is digital and the power is 65W" he said).

Would you recommend apollo+mira for 1.500 EUR?

iPod Advice needed

Hi all,

I am looking to buy my first iPod and I have a nice system. I would like to know if anybody on this board has experimented with iPods feeding into a nice audio system, what cable was used as an interconnect and, lastly, can you burn a cd with the music downloaded from iTunes?

Thanks in advance for advice...

Although she'll deny it, my wife thinks ill of me because I've failed to buy her a new Mini Cooper. I can point to a number of things in my defense&mdash;especially the Mini's lack of all-wheel drive, which we need for climbing our quarter-mile driveway in bad weather, and its insufficient cargo and passenger space&mdash;all of which would constrain a Dudley-owned Mini Cooper to recreational use only. And a new round of car payments would be difficult to justify for those reasons: <I>not</I> because I'm cheap, and not because I'm too old to appreciate a car that's fun to drive.
