You'll find subtle differences in warmth, bass, detail, etc., but should you be content given the $'s spent. Realistically if you're looking at new speakers under $750 you can be totally "satisfied" with those Klipsch or JBLs or ELACs in that range. DAC, built in phono) which are just cheap throw-ins. Just bear in mind you are buying it for the amp features, not the extra stuff (e.g. RE: the amp, check Accessories for Less for discounts on open box/factory refurb/overstock if you want a Yamaha or something similar. The Mani is one of the most overhyped pieces of equipment online IMHO. RE: the phono preamp, I would get something else. You can buy new for the rest of the components, but sinking $500-600 into a turntable like the ones mentioned is not a good idea. I highly recommend getting a decent used turntable instead. RE: the TT you are going to be throwing money away if you buy new with your budget. I know they have their fans, but I'm not one of them. Personally I did not like either of those speakers, but the Klipsch were just nasty IMHO. Bring some FLAC files on your phone and you should be able to get a socially distanced demo at Best Buy or whatever. I realize that's difficult know but Klipsch and ELAC are sold at big box stores so pretty easy. Try to hear those speakers before buying them.
I'm definitely interested to see how you guys would recommend dividing the $1,000 up.
I've dug through a ton of old threads about this topic and it seems like people prioritize spending on speakers and cartridges. Speakers: The Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2s seem like a great option for the price point.Īny other additional expenses I'm missing here? Wires perhaps? I've seen Emotiva and Yamaha brought up frequently. Pre-Amp: The Schit Mani for around $130 seems to be brought up consistently.Īmp: Definitely need some assistance here. I'd love to hear people opinions on both, and any other options within this price range.Ĭartridge: Definitely need some assistance here Turntable: Rega Planer 1 ($600)/ Project Debut Carbon ($449.00). Below are a few options I've been looking at. Not sure if this has any impact on the gear. The records I listen to are all from the 60s and 70s.

My record collection has been growing and have finally decided its time to upgrade from my Jensen that I started out with a few years ago. I'm completely new to this and have been researching a ton lately. Been reading on here a decent amount for a while now, finally decided to join.
