Neophite needing advice


Hi - I am looking to buy a new music system (a CD player, an integrated amplifier, a tuner, and good bookshelf speakers), but have very little experience with the equipment part of the project - could anyone recommend a setup for up to $1500 to produce a good sound? I mostly listen to classical music and jazz. Thanks a lot.

If by clasical and jaz you mean smaller chamber type ensembles then you may want to try the Triangle Titus (500) with the Jolida 202A IA ($750). This'll squeez you for a CD player and tuner, but you'll get loads and loads of detail and warmth from trumpets, saxes, violins, snares, and cymbals. Bass will suffer, however, so if you primarily listen to big orchestral performance then I'd skip this. BTW, Saturday Audio seems to be selling the 750 (the 740 which I believe it replaced is recommended above) for $420. Also the two above mentioned pieces are currently being listed for $400-demo and $475-used respectively on Audiogon which may help you fit into better sources.
