The P1 is excellent but if you can afford a P2 go for that rather than the plus.

Not sure you will find one at a sensible price but these are pretty good, Sansui A517, http://listeninn.com/Website/Used-In...U-517-Info.htm, they are supposed to be pretty robust and sound good. Should drive your BW's I think.
Others on AoS may know of an A517 that's available and good.

Thanks again for all your replies..
Apologies to , for so many questions!
Ive been looking at e-bay etc...I was looking at an 18 month old Audiolab 6000A..........I "think" it must have been mentioned in a thread I made on a watch forum...
Its up for sale at about £450..........ish.....I think maybe its a bit more than what I was looking to pay, but Im really clueless to be honest!!
Are these any good, or maybe its better for me to go "older"?
Again! Sorry for all the questions!

Just remember this that Audio Al had up for sale, they have a good reputation, just find a nice pre-amp and you would be set up, PM Al and see if he still has it https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...ifier-for-sale

Thanks for that...
Im getting more confused now though! It seems really cheap, I must admit...Ive no idea what a pre-amp is!! I assume I just plug the pre-amp into the above or vice versa? Then its ready to go?!
Sorry...I really am not up to all this technology! lol........still its good to learn it all!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Daney is looking for uncomplicated options, so probably best to stick with an integrated amplifier with built-in MM phono stage.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I am really looking for something which is as uncomplicated as possible yes!.
So it looks like an integrated amp. is what I need...Ive seen on another forum a turntable
"linn axis turn table with audio technica at440mla cartridge not had much use £300"...would this be suitable...or would I be better off looking for a Vega turntable?
I cant seem to find many second hand Vega planar tt for sale....looking about a P1 ia £200 ish, and the planar 2 for double that.....So Im still undecided/unsure......I guess though, it depends on what type of amp. (and the cost of it!) as to which turntable I get...as has been said, a C.D. player I assume isnt that "important".. (I mean regarding spec. price etc?).
Oh yes!! then there is the tuner....it sure is a rabbit hole isnt it! lol!
