mike_amk Posted March 15, 2024 Report Share Posted March 15, 2024 Hi Daniu, As you mentioned your keenness to dabble, I thought perhaps to keep the setup simple, and go for a basic turntable and listen through headphones. Once you know the what you enjoy better, then get the right system within your budget, perhaps start with an integrated amp that would allow you to add a power amp later on when you upgrade to better speakers. I'm guessing you stream music as well, so the integrated amp needs to have streaming and a decent on board DAC, or else you're going to need an additional DAC for all your digital devices... You could get a good deal on a pre-owned turntable on carousell. Cheers, 🥂 Mike SurpriseMEinHere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
