I have been offered some 2nd hand hi-fi seperates from a friend who is
upgrading, due to the fact i have only ever had mid price sony midi
systems, i would appreciate any advice as to wether these pieces of
equipment will provide passable quality sound performance.

NIKKO STEREO DC AMPLIFIER NA-990
ELTAX SYMPHONY 6 FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS (150WATT)
ROTEL RCD-855 CD PLAYER
SONY PS-LX55 CD PLAYER

All offered for £200($360)

many thanks

Andy......

On the basis of my knowledge of the Rotel RCD-865 and -965 (both good CD
players, though I prefer the 865), I would go with the 855, as long as
the transport mechanism is in good working order.
