Under $300.00, I would buy the Pio Elite A35 R for less than $200.00 if you are not a head banger type of listener. In-expensive yet very musical. Best of all, you will get it brand new in box. For $299.00 extra, you can get a brand new in box Energy RC10. For less than $200.00, get the Pio BDP 51fd and you will have an awesome CDP with Wolfson Dacs. That's good budget system .Good luck.
Best Integrated w/ Phono-In under $350
I have decided to get my feet in the world of vinyl. I am trying to get educated and put together a system at the same time. But the amp part of it has me very confused.
I am on a fairly limited budget and really want to find a good starter amp under $350. Aside from needing to have a phono-in I really have no other requirements. New or used is fine.
Some I've looked at are the Marantz PM5003 (seen a few at the top of my budget), the NAD C325BEE (have yet to see one available anywhere), and a few others. But like I said, I am pretty well wrapped around the axle now and would appreciate some guidance from those who are more worldly about these things.
Thanks.
