Welcome to the word of audio. I fully agree with Don. Establish a budget, then start looking and let your ears be the judge. If may help to take along some familiar music as you audition. In addition, if possible, have the store play it through the combination (amp/cd/speakers) they are suggesting. Take your time - some stores will even let you audition the combo at home. the "hunt for perfection" is a big and continuing part of this hobby. However, do not let specifications rule. Your ears are the most important evaluative tool. If it sounds better to you, then you should probably buy it. Welcome to the world of audio.
I m a beginner. Please help
hello, everyone. i started to get into the audiophile's world a month ago. i would like to learn about what separate components i need to have in order to enjoy the best quality of sound! it looks like many people spend their money on power chords and power plants etc. do they really make a differnce in sound? or is this all one big hype? i would think that a cd player, a pre-amp, a pow. amp, and a pair of speakers would be enough to hear.
