Want to upgrade 1980s-era stereo, what pieces first, articles?
I have a decent college stereo system from the late 1980s. I have a
great pair of Polk audio speakers that I think still sound great. Everything else I could trade in in a heartbeat. I am in the process of converting all my cassettes to CD-R and at that point will remove the cassette deck from my stereo and relegate it to the basement. I am a computer programmer and new parent, so I am capable of creating a networked stereo for high capacity storage, but don't have the free time to investigate this myself. I want to buy a new receiver, probably want to get a dvd player with mp3 capability to replace the cd player- that way can listen to radio broadcasts traded on mp3 dvds. I would be interested in upgrading my cartridge and stylus, but nothing over $200 for both pieces. My wife says to choose the top 1000 LPs and sell the rest and I don't think she's wrong. Has anyone read any articles about restarting a quality stereo system? I would happily buy old working pieces on ebay, have no fear of tubes, etc, but I'm not going to spend more than $500 per piece. The Absolute Sound reviews, you know, just aren't for me. Can anyone point me to good sites for this info? please post here. for those who are really helpful, I listen to 1950s and 1960s rock music, often mono, mostly on CD. Don |

Check out audioadvisor.com. They have a great selection of turntables,
preamps and amps. I haven't had a turntable in about ten years but I just started to reasearch turntables and I found these guys. |
