    Advice For One New to Hi Fi

    I'm not really sure how much it would cost to send, but I found a semi-local store here I'm going to check out. With all the advice I got, I think it would be better to just go buy the Rega rp1, brio-r, and tower speakers. I'll find something in store. I will probably spend an obsene amount...
