In Reply to: ~$500-800 to spend on a stereo posted by s2 on June 12, 2002 at 07:06:56:
I would pick up a used NAD reciever and some PSB speakers to get started. The PSB alpha or wharfedales Diamonds are really inexpensive and you should be able to find them for about 150 dollars or less. As for a CD player I would recommend getting a DVD player and just using that for the time being, say maybe a Pioneer-DV343 or something like that. If you have any questions just email me.
The Wharfedale diamonds are good. So are the Wharfedale Emeralds, which I have. Lots of people get them from uBid (hope this isn't against the PG to type that). I have the Emerald 97s, myself. they seem to be a good entry-level audiophile speaker.you could probably get some decent speakers for $150 (maybe a little more for shipping, esp. if using uBid). then maybe a nad (c370 ?) integrated amp used from the classifieds on audiogon.com. I see various NAD integrateds ranging from $260-$410 (or so). Maybe get the Sony SCD-CE775 CD/SACD player, that is all the rave in the Hi-Rez forum. Should be about $179-225 at Circuit city or Best buy, etc. Maybe less for a floor demo or open box. For the tuner, I would get an old 1970s Sansui tuner, or the like off of eBay for like $30 - but that's me. There are probably several tuners (maybe a matching NAD one?) listed on audiogon.

$619-815plus add shipping, and get some decent gold plated interconnects abd speaker cables from Radio Shack (don't mess with the esoteric stuff yet!). Also forgot to add a rack to place everything on. I dunno. use an 8ft folding banquet table for now! hehe. Are we much over budget?
