| Best Used under $300 2 Channel Amp i second the adcom vote. i don't know the nht speaker, but you may want to consider the adcom 535 if 60wpc is enough. I always thought the 535 was the best sounding of the three (535/545/555), and I owned all three at one time (all mk 1 versions). | |

| stereo cartridge on mono record yes you are fine. | |
| Isolation with levelling stillpoints or the sandbox are good options. also, the bright star air masses level by repositioning the component - I used to use one under my scout. it sounded very good, but only after I mass-loaded the air mass with about 15lbs of lead shot. | |
| Inexpensive starter system if you could stretch to say $750 you could get very, very nice starter system. a brand new rega r1 w/ cart would be ~$395 and a used rega brio integrated (which has a mm phono stage) would be $350ish. that amp only offers 40wpc so speaker match is... | |
