Hi there, After a few weeks of browsing other Forums, I decided here was one where I wouldn't get laughed at for not knowing my hi-fi onions.. Please prove me right, as i'm inheriting a system without a player and I don't know what to get. My brother's emigrating and not taking his hi-fi kit with him, so i'm finally getting the separates system i've wanted for some time (i've been listening to music through my laptop and some rubbish desktop speakers). It seems a decent set-up, as he only bought the amp and speakers about a year ago, I believe on What hifi recommendations. The amp is a Rotel RA-05, and the speakers Epos M12.2. Atacama rack and stands also included, plus Chord speaker cable and interconnects, but no CD player - thanks to my nephew somehow trashing the matching Rotel machine. I've got up to £400 to spend - which CD player would be best with the kit? I don't mind if it doesn't match, and I read elsewhere that the Rotel player wasn't much good anyway? Or should I blow my cash on a top-spec iPod classic and a dock? I love the flexibility of using my computer as a music source, and have a massive iTunes collection - though only an ancient iPod I use out-and-about. Help!
