Trelja, that is precisely what I am thinking. Do you have any suggestions on the inexpensive CD player, which should probably have volume control built in?
99 10W Tube Mono Blocks?
Just read a CES article in Stereophile (April issue) that very briefly touched on some $99 tube mono blocks made by Antique Sound Labs, the Wave AV-8. Can anyone tell me anything about these things?
To own tubed mono blocks for $99 each... I just can't believe they could be any good. But at the same time, for $200, how could I not find out for myself?
What kind of speakers, of course in the same price range, say $200 max for the pair would produce reasonable sound and be happy wih a 10W tube amp?
Oh, and of course we also need a, say, under $200 CD player with built-in volume control that would make this system really sing. Any suggestions here? :)
But seriously, I am just itching to order these things... Anyone that has any info, good or bad, please let me know.
