Hi All
Havent spent any money on HiFi gear for over 10 years - so now is the time, driven by my need for a turntable so i can dust off all my old vinyl from the 70's and 80's. - scary.
in my lounge ( 8m x 4m) I have a Denon F10 stack and Kef Coda 9 floormount speakers - this is all about 12 years old - but to my ears still sounds good.
In a small box room I have cambridge audio 640A amp with 640C CD player and Monitor audio RS1 bookshelves - again sounds ok to me.
I want to buy and use a turntable ( looking at Rega RP3) in my lounge and thought I would buy a new CD player,speakers and amp as well - all to replace the Denon F10 stack.
I moved from Uk to Sydney a few years back - and most HiFi equipment here is twice the price of the same product in the uk ( Rega seem to be noteworthy exception to this price guaging in australia).
I will listen to combinations in some of my local HiFi shops and will buy the Rega RP3 here, but other items I intend to buy in the Uk so dont wish to waste australian retailers time when i have little inclination to buy fro mthem ( due to said pricing).
So would welcome any thoughts on my plans and particularly what separates you would recommend to support the turntable, my overall budget would be 2500-3000 pounds
thanks in advance
