lotsa great stuff for sale here used... demo everything you can but i rarely buy new unless firesale priced. if you have the $ it is your call tho. why macintosh is one question... and as noted, do you really think seperates is wise as a beginner? jmo. keep it simple and find a guy who can get you farther down the learning curv before you start spending big money. a 'guru' of sorts will save huge amnt of time and money and headache.
Novice looking for advice
I'm in the market for a two channel system and would appreciate advice from more experienced owners of higher end equipment.
I heard some Linn Akurate 242's at a local dealer. Loved the speakers but Linn products seem awfully expensive. Has anyone had any experience with these speakers paired with either Mcintosh or Rogue Electronics? What I had in mind is a mac tube preamp, mac 250 amp, source I'm still at a loss. For about the same price as the mac stuff I can probably get Rogue monos and a preamp. Any responses would be much welcomed.
