My brother has just been re-enlightened to the sound of vinyl.
He now wants to have his own system to play his collection, but has a budget of about £500. The system will be put in a relatively small room, and he is aware of the limitations of a dudget system. He tells me he is not interested in upgrades to a deck, but just wants something that works.

Where would you start with a budget of this magnitude?
For me, it would have to be a Genie or RP1, but what about the amp, and speakers?

I have not kept up with the latest developments, so I would be interested in what peoples opinion of equipment to be put on the audition list is?
