Hey Trev. Could use your help if you feel like offering it.
My kid's birthday is coming up in a couple of months and he'd like a new
stereo. He got a big kick out of his old Garrand 3500 based stereo that
I talked about here some time ago, but it's started to be a bit
unreliable and he'd love something a bit better. He basically just wants
a turntable as he loves vinyl and has no interest in CD's or tapes, and
with that in mind I have 2 questions for you.
Firstly, is there anything new on the market today that you would
recommend? I'm not looking for high end stuff, but don't want cheap
rubbish either. I'm not fussed about brands and I dare say neither is
he. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just want something that
sounds reasonable. If you had any recommendations of a system that could
be put together on a budget of a thousand bucks I'd be all ears.
Secondly, if you don't think new stuff in that price range today is
worth owning, could you recommend any second hand stuff to look out for?
I see the odd 70's or 80's vintage Marantz, Pioneer or Yamaha hifi
systems come up on Marketplace occasionally, and wondered if something
of that nature (or anything else you could recommend) would be a better
bet instead?
Appreciate any and all advice you may be able to offer.
