GIRL NEWBIE


Hi there!

I am looking for some recommendations on solid used equipment.
I am new to all of this and I would love to begin building a quality system to REALLY enjoy my records.
I currently have a technics turntable...but am in the market for a used receiver (integrated, to start off with) and some speakers...
my budget is between $500-$550...any ideas??

thanks!

I agree with Hack. Go with a used NAD integrated and some B&Ws. Other good brands of inexpensive electronics are Rotel and Creek. Before I got out of the business, many years ago, I was a retailer at various places for quite a lot of different brands. There are lots of good speakers with which you could go, though. However, the NAD/B&W combination is good because: 1) They're both pretty reliable products. 2) The companies are still around and are relatively large, so they're likely to stay around for a good while longer. 3) For it's price, the NAD does, indeed, have a decent phono stage. 4) The warm sound of the NAD complements the more detailed sound of the B&Ws. 5) I have put systems together for customers using NAD and B&W. And they were satisfied, so I know from experience the combination works.
Of course, there are many, many other options available.
