Hi,
I've been reading the forum for about a year, when I was first looking to get my dad a TT as a present - long story short, after seeing his system in action, I wanted to build myself one as well
Recently got a great deal on a VPI Scout and decided to take the plunge! Its not here yet, and I need to buy the rest of the system. I won't throw out a budget figure yet (as I'm still mulling it over, sorry, but value for money is important too) but I'm looking for the rest of the components that will do the following at the cheaper end of the spectrum:
1) Give me a great sound
2) Do justice to the Scout but don't want to plonk down 3K USD on speakers either (yet)
3) Specific integrated amp / speaker combos that will go well with system (I have only hear a Brio-R and Dynaudio 14 combo so far, it was interesting, not sure I'm sold, I haven't heard any other yet)
4) Will try to audition those combos if possible
5) The cart will likely be an ortofon for now
6) Open to new/used and in select cases vintage (links to the purchase site would be very helpful in case you have come across deals)
7) Open to BarterTown (have not tried it yet) / purchase from forum members
Thanks guys
