Hi. This is my first post so be gentle with me []
My set up at the minute includes Pro-Ject Debut 3 turntable, a Denon av reciever and a set of KEF eggs. I had a turntable set up in the 80's and 90's before going to CD and then the av route but last year I had an urge to go back to vinyl and bought the turntable. It sounds ok in my current set up but can't help thinking it would sound a whole lot better running through a decent stereo amp and speakers. Now this is where you lot come in hopefully [] For one reason or another I don't have a very big budget at the minute so I'm looking at buying a secondhand amp off ebay for around the 150 mark, I'm fancying an Audiolab 8000A or possibly a Cyrus 3. I mostly listen to Radiohead, Muse, U2, Indie etc. But also a lot of the old stuff like Clapton, Hendrix and so on. Anybody got any thoughts on which of these amps would suit my taste the most or any idea's on alternative's. Also any recommendations on speakers, either new or old that would suit these amps. Again I'll be looking at spending 150 at the very most and I've been contemplating speakers such as Tannoy's V1, Mission's Mx1, MA's BR1 or anybody know any good old classic standmount's around for the same sort of money? Obviously buying secondhand I probably won't get chance to audition so all help really appreciated.
