Starting out (lemmy.world)

I’m looking for some advice starting out with a budget audiophile set up. I have a smallish vinyl collection (100 records) and a large collection of CDs from my childhood that I want to set up in my new place. Until now I’ve always had cheap rubbish players for them because I’ve been listening to most of my music via streaming and headphones (Sony xm4).

I’m planning to listen to my collection in a room in my home again and I was wondering what people would recommend in terms of a turntable, a cd player, and speakers. I’m a total noob so I’m not even sure if I need an amp/ receiver etc. I’m willing to spend around €500 (based in Europe) and would like gear that has a small footprint.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Glad I could help, yes stages is a good idea. Funnily enough, I want to upgrade my Planar 1 hah. Recently upgraded my amp and speakers which was hefty hit to the wallet even getting a bit back from my old gear

Sounds fun (and expensive haha). Did you enjoy the Planar 1 for the time you had it?
