Almost. With a bit of comparing between online shops, I clocked in at around €1600.

Thought I would give a quick update. In the end I went for a system consisting of: - Rega Planar 1 - Yamaha R-N600A - B&W 607 S3 Must say I'm really happy with it. Plays the records, Spotify/Tidal, DAB radio, Net radio, etc... with (for me at least) unprecedented clarity! Thanks for all the...

@ijohn I saw that pack too, but when looking a bit closer at it, I think it is just the Pro-Ject E1 Phono with another brand printed on. And then it is rather expensive, just paying the premium for the matching colors. It seems the Argon Audio TT Mk2 is lauded everywhere for the best bang for...

The mention of Triangle and Argon Audio TT put me on yet another path 🤯 Thanks @gasolin and @Fandango Andy 🙃 I'm more and more convinced to return to the basic issue I was trying to fix: listen to some vinyl, with a decent set of speakers, preferably also with streaming options. So now I'm...

Thanks all for the extra food for thought :grimacing:

I thought I would give you an update, as I went to one of the shops to discuss the idea and see what options they propose. One idea was to have a Yamaha MusicCast Vinyl 500 (which also covers streaming) and feed it into a set of Klipsch The Fives. That would bring the cost to €649 for the...

I've been thinking about that as well, but am hesitant because it is hard to know how it was treated... It also feels like missing out feature-wise, since it all seems to be developing quite fast. Especially when talking about streamers, bluetooth, wifi, etc...

Yeah, we have two stores nearby that are specialized in Hifi. So I'll be heading there, once I have a better idea of what I'm going for (amp & streamer or receiver, budget left for speakers, which turntable...). Maybe it is an idea to start with decent amp & streamer (or receiver) and a set of...

Also, just saw this one: https://www.whathifi.com/hi-fi/weve-built-an-affordable-all-purpose-hi-fi-system-for-vinyl-streaming-and-even-headphone-fans Might this be a route as well?

Hi all, Thanks for the feedback all! Some interesting perspectives, exactly what I hoped to find here (y) @twinkletoes & @Fandango Andy First of all: yes, I have some vinyl sitting in a box since the late 80's. But I'm also planning to buy some new ones along the way. I definitely do have a...

Hi all, I've been reading (and studying) for a few weeks now, but my first foray into hifi only seems to make things less clear :sweatsmile: First some context: I have been listening to Sonos Play 3's for the last ten years or so. Strictly streaming Spotify, but due to the Sonos app mishap of...
