Hello Wayne. Welcome to AOS.
I'm not familiar with the equipment models you are interested in either unfortunately.
If you start a thread in the Blank Canvas section, outlining your ideas and needs, I'm sure you'll get plenty of opinions.
There's much second hand and vintage gear well worth considering.
Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Wayne if your in Manchester there are lots of forum members local to you.
Before committing to buying anything, try and hear a few systems. Loads of us have more than one system , one of which is often based around budget components, which might help you find what your looking for without risking buying stuff unheard.

Some of us have been at this game for forty years or more Wayne and are still learning.Originally Posted by Stan66
Oh. And some superb sounding equipment can be over forty years years old as well. Believe it or not.

Welcome to AoS Wayne,
Don't worry - we all had to start out knowing very little.
Although I'm not familiar with any of the gear you mention, I see no reason why it should not work together.
If the Project TT comes with a lead fitted, then just plug that into the input on the back of the amp marked "Disc", or "Phono". If not, then buy a pair of 1m long interconnects terminated with RCA phono plugs and use that.
The headphones can be plugged into the headphone jack socket of the amp; assuming it has one. Ideally you need to fix a 10W rated 8
Ohm resistors across each of the loudspeaker outputs on the back of the amp.
Regards
Barry
