Hello AK,
I do a lot of reading the Forum, but never post. Here has been the challenge for the last year. The 100 dollar stereo. The rules are simple you are required to have a turntable, cd player, amplifier, speakers all the cables need, and a tuner if required. All this must not exceed 100 dollars. Two things will determine a winner. One is overall sound quality witch will be judged by a neutral party, and the other is what the system would have cost new! (The later being the least important). Well here we are a year later and I just made a list of stuff I have acquired and am shocked at how much I have. I can understand why my wife is ready to kill me! The reason I am posting this is because I want some help picking and choosing the system. I know some of this is a personal taste, but it would be interest to see how some of you would go about it. I put the price I paid next to the Items. If the system comes in under 100 bucks other gear can be added. Let me know what you think, comments, questions. Over the last year I have fallen in love with gear and have learned so muck. I want to thank this community for all the help along the way. Though I have spent no time talking, I have spent a lot of time listening. Cheers :thmbsp:
