Beginner looking for information about getting a set up for playing vinyl nothing to complicated turntable amplifier and speakers to start off with. Got a budget of about £500
Welcome, Steve. Have you got an existing LP collection, because if not it’s a very expensive way to enjoy music?
Are you hoping to buy new, because it’s not much for a complete system? Used is great value, but you need to be sure what you’re buying.
yes I have an existing vinyl collection dating back to regatta de blanc from when I was about 11 years old up to Liam Gallagher last album. Probably got 200 vinyl and 300 cd I’m more interested in the vinyl side for now and I am looking for equipment that I can add to later so I think that the amplifier would be a good start then turntable then the speakers. Any help would be much appreciatedWelcome, Steve. Have you got an existing LP collection, because if not it’s a very expensive way to enjoy music?

I was looking at new kit from Richer Sounds after my earlier reply. A Denon DM41 is about £290, but you can get opened yet unused ones on eBay for around £230. A turntable with a phono stage is about £250 upwards. Speakers from £49 a pair for discontinued but very decent Wharfedale Diamonds. Still over £500 though! The benefit of the little Denon is it’ll play your CDs too. But it won’t fill a 10 metre long room!yes I have an existing vinyl collection dating back to regatta de blanc from when I was about 11 years old up to Liam Gallagher last album.
