Audioholics just did a favorable review of the + Record Player all in one system.
A system for my college-bound daughter
UGHH!!! Usually, the thought of creating a new system would be fun, but it's my daughter, and this time it's not.
Sources wanted: Turntable, CDs, Airplay Streaming
Cost: Would be nice to keep under $1K, certainly under $1,500 (true… that's less than the cost of a cartridge in my main turntable). Way less is fine and encouraged, but I don't want to buy her crap and have her go down the wrong road.
Why I'm finding this hard: WAF but at an even higher level (Teen Acceptance Factor!). She likes the way Crosley looks, but even she admits the sound is crap. Hmm, Peachtree might work. I used to have Peachtree Nova. It was overrated, but it would be a fine start for her. The only thing is that the one with integrated wireless would consume most of the cost, leaving little for speakers and a turntable (I'm sure I could get a cheap solution for playing CDs).
