What is your system - classical and folk.


As a beginner, I would be interested in the equipment you all have purchased, if your favourite music is classical(both instrumental and choral), folk and any traditional style of music. That's what I listen to and it would be good to know what those of you with more experience have spent money on. It seems there would be a difference in requirements from those who listen to mostly rock.

I listen to mostly classical, followed by folk, followed by a little jazz, rock and techno/electronic. My rule of thumb on buying a system is find the gear you like the best in your price range and enjoy the music! You can not put a price tag on a big grin while listening to your favorite music and that's all there is to it. You will notice not two people here at audiogon have the same system or more then a few of the same components. Its the journey that can be nearly as much fun as the end result. Just try not to be drawn into the gear to much thus losing sight of why you are doing this- the music! «to see my voyage click on my system its where I have ended up»

If you are new to this, take a step back and start reading the archives here. There's so much information at your finger tips just waiting to be found. Find some leads and go out and listen, try to meet other audiophiles in your area. Save the most you can afford to and get good deals on the equipment you find you like(here at audiogon, you can find nearly anything you want in very good condition used). Just don't rush or you will make mistakes that will cost you a lot of money- and that ruins the fun in a big hurry!
