Minor red flag: zero budget for wire?
Thoughts on a Potential New Rig
Big vinyl enthusiast looking to put together a setup for ~4k. I have a small NYC apartment (L-shaped, 20'x10' at its roomiest point, full of records, books, etc) and am therefore limited to monitor speakers. My taste in sound leans toward musical and slightly warm.
My planned new rig:
Silverline Minuet Grand
McIntosh MA6200 Integrated
Technics Sl-1025
Would like to hear opinions on whether the components will complement each other well or if there are any major red flags. I expect a lot of negative opinions on the Technics, but I'm fairly certain I want to go direct-drive and the options at my price point are limited. I like the high-torque motor, ability to play 45s easily and that it's built like a tank. Could be convinced to go a different route if people think it'll be a bad fit.
Let me know your thoughts!
