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

Dear OP - You have a wonderful Dad!  And, you are an amazing son for bringing music back into your Dad’s life. 
 

You certainly can get a system for under $1,000. 
 

Right now Music Direct has a Marantz PM5005 integrated amp with a mm phono stage for $375, down from $500. Marantz is a very fine brand that your Dad should enjoy. 
 

Also at Music Direct is a Rega Planar 1 turntable with mm cartridge for $525. 
 

These 2 pieces of equipment and your Dad’s current speakers should get him back on the road!

 

Good luck to you and your Dad.
