You Want Affordable Hi-Fi, try this set-up.

I’m only a few hours into listening to my new Wharfedale Lintons but I’m pretty happy so far. This is what I might call my 3rd system (I use it the most compared to my bigger systems). The Lintons and a Rogue Sphinx V3 integrated. Let’s see the Lintons are $1500 and the Rogue is $1700. You’ll need stands, I bought the Linton stands but there are cheaper choices. Let’s say $3400 with stands. Add your source and you have a very satisfying system. I’m not sure if that is a lot of money for young people but I think you could spend 10K and not do better. There is good affordable stuff out there.

russ69,

Danny from GR Research has a really interesting assessment of the Lintons on his youtube channel, and what he did to make them even better.

Which tubes are you using in the Sphinx?

That is a fantastic system for the money. I believe there is a video or at least an article showing the Lintons being driven with the Rogue sphinx. The Tone audio review is a very favorable one for the Lintons. Herb Reichert of Stereophile, whom I trust, reviewed both the sphinx (original) as well as the V3, and the Lintons. He liked them both very much. Now, throw in a nice pro-ject the classic sb, or a Music Hall mmf-5.3 or 7.3, plus a border patrol dac and an audiolab cdt6000 transport, and you got one heck of a set up for the money.
