Hello, I'm sure there has been many posts like this but here goes....
I'm now looking to re immerse myself back to the world of HIFI, it's been a long time since I've owned any HIFI, (long story but divorce comes in to it etc).
What I'm looking for now is an amp, speakers and DAC (will stream music via my PC on Amazon HD or such like). And I'm looking for some advice / pointers please on what is good, bad and ugly (I understand it's subjective to the listener), I mainly listen to Jazz, blues, vocals, light rock (fleetwood mac etc) and artists like Jools Hollands, my partner has more modern tastes, so would have to deal with "pop" music too. I'm not looking to cause structural damage and would listen at moderate levels not rock concert and I would like a detailed, full sound with good soundstage and presence (vintage amp maybe?)
Room my hifi will be in is a normal sitting room, which is about 27 foot by 16 foot (at widest).
Happy to buy second hand as I have a budget of about £500.
Thanks in advance for any help give.
Many thanks
Jon
