Cheapest System You Have Bits For?
I was having a poke through all the Hi-Fi I have knocking about and wondered what the least costly to me system I could put together was.
There's a mint Pioneer PL-15S up in the loft that cost me £6 from a boot sale.
I've a very sweet Goldring Eroica LX MC with a cracked lug that I nabbed for £20. It works just fine!.
The superb sounding JVC AX-A441 integrated amp stands me in at £20 as well, it has an amazingly good MC input and bags of power.
As for speakers, I think a couple of my Canon 5" full range drivers on open baffles could do the job nicely, they are lovely sounding units, but cost me a mere £3 a pair. I know how good they are, as I've used them before. The baffles I can make from materials grabbed from skips, so free!
I can 'upgrade' the TT a bit with a better headshell that was given to me and a heavier mat that came with a load of other stuff for nothing.
Cables? I've loads that came with other gear.
I make that £49.
Can you do better? (with proper Hi-Fi gear )
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
