Choosing the right equipment

Hi Everyone, thank you for coming to my discussion. I am looking for help to create a system around a pair of Dunlavy 5. My father had to sell all his equipment to help out with my college so my sister and I are looking to create an inexpensive system just so he has something to use while we get back on our feet. I know he liked using records so I assume he needs a turn table. Any help would be appreciated as you can probably tell my knowledge is sub par. Thank you again

After seeing others reactions… I have to agree with many. Get your father involved. Tell him your budget (of $1,000… not sure $400) will really do anything) and make it a project to work with him on. You guys have a great family.

Anything is possible, and something is better than nothing… maybe… or better wait until you can spend more. Really carefully chosen $1k will get some sound out of them… pleasing? I need help on that. But splitting $600 for integrated electronics and $400 (Rega?) for table would sound OK. Just for reference if I was looking for matching components I would think of a budget of about $20,000 for electronics… you could do so,etching fairly complimentary for $10K. The good news is they are pretty efficient speakers (91db) so they don’t need lots of power.

Someone will have to chime in with specific recommendations in these price ranges. The closest thing I have experience with is a $2K integrated amp (no phono stage).
