Friends and neighbors, boys and girls,
My daughter (a young school teacher) just going through a divorce, lost the stereo. She kept the albums but lost the turntable.
IF she was here in Thailand I could fix her up easy as can be. But she is in America. I need recommendations on a system that is VERY cheap, she is not an audiophile, but loves her tunes.
She needs to be able to play 2 channel, LPs and CDs and listen to the FM.
What can I get her, there WILL BE some GoldenEar Tech speakers, that goes without saying, but which ones?
And played by what?
We are looking for value for little money here.
This is an area that I have not visited in a long time. I have cables that cost more than this system will cost (old Dad says hopefully, since this will be birthday/Christmas present for her).
Any input will be appreciated.
God Bless,
Wayne

Santa, what is your budget?

Not enough
I have no idea what this will cost me.
I may have to look at used or pawn shops, she is NOT an audiophile.
Still, you know me, have to have good sound.
Blessings, Wayne

Wayne here are a few ideas to kick around: Audio Advisor.com

Stereo Receiver:
Cambridge Audio-Sonata AR30 Compact Receiver w/I pad Dock (40 w per channel) $299.00...or
Cambridge Audio-Topas SR10-Receiver (85 w per channel) $499.00

CD player:
Cambridge Audio-Topaz-CD10-CD player $349.00

Turntable
Music Hall-USB-1-USB/DJ Turntable $249.00

Speakers:
GE SuperSat 3 $249.99/Each (would sound great by themselves)
Forcefield 3 (Sub) $499.00
SuperStand 3 Floor stands $149.99/pair

Aon 2 $399.99/each (my first choice)

Ha ha ha, thanks Bro
But this will be LOW cost.
The only thing I agree with is the Aon 2s, which already break the budget.
The price is right, come on DOWN!!!!
Blessings,
Wayne
