This Christmas I bought myself a Marantz PM6006UK amp and dug out from the workshop my old Wharfedale Chevin XP speakers. A little refurb of the cases and banana plug sockets fitted they sound great. I have also on a budget, bought a Marantz CD63 cd player and Marantz ST48 tuner. I'm happy with the sound and usually listen with headphones when the wife is indoors.
Good morning Ian, why the headphones while your wife is at home, does she really not like your music tastes? I have the same problem, Mrs P thinks I do it deliberately to annoy her. I can't be doing with headphones though, so we sort of take turns - she watches her telly crap while I go on here, then I play records while she sits there with a face like a dropped pie. Domestic harmony!
