Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and to Hi-Fi hobby. I want to build a vinyl collection and adequate Hi-Fi setup. My favorit music is metal, rock, blues and folk
I only have my PC and powered speakers Edifier R1700BT and some vinyls I inherrited from my late father.
I can´t break whole bank right now, so I am considering two phases.
1st step (probably November 2021): Buy a turntable, budget around 600EUR: As I have powered speakers which I intend to use from the start I need something with build-in phono. From what I saw I like the Rega Planar 1 plus or Thorens TD201 (my local dealer offers it with 2M RED cartridge for 512EUR). I know that within my budget I can buy Planar 2 or Pro-ject debut carbon (or EVO) and again for the project there is possibility from dealer to have it premounted with 2M RED. But I would need to buy some phono preamp and that would mean more money and aditional box to have.
2nd step (maybe 2022-23): I would like to buy integrated amplifier and pair of speakers, I tought within budget of approx. 750EUR for each. Then I could turn the integrated phono of the turntable off and I could use phono of the amplifier / or use which of the two would be better.
What do you think about my plans? Is it absolute BS, or do I have any good idea? What turntable/amplifier/speakers would you recommend?
