So let me start out by saying that I am 19 and have very little experience with the intricacies of a nice HIFi system. With the help of my Dad and seeing what comes up on craigslsit and eBay I have a decent enough setup. Here is what I am running right now.
-JVC KD-55 Cassette Deck (Not looking to replace, its a great little machine with a nice look) $60
-Kenwood KT 815 Tuner (Has a quirk or two but works fine, matches the cassette deck) Free on CL
-Fisher MT 860 Turntable (Just bought a new needle for it but doesn't really match) Free on CL
-Sony CDP-C315 5 Disc Changer (not necessary but nice to have) Free on CL
-Fisher CA 860 Receiver (100 wpc and VU meters but doesn't match) Free on CL
-JVC SP 7700 Speakers (They are beat up and the cones are pushed in but they sound a lot nicer then my old Fisher STV 870s) Traded for speakers I got free on CL
All I am looking for is a Receiver, Turntable, and speakers that meet these requirements.
-Matching faces (Stainless or aluminum, I cant tell)
-Dial-Style VU Meters and soft white incandescent backlights (I have seen red and green backlights)
-Roughly around the same time period
-Sliders to adjust the frequency's to tune with (I can't remember the real term)
-The receiver to be 100wpc or more and have built in VU
-If my budget allows a nice stereo rack.
I appreciate all comments, I have looked around on Ebay to find components and I figured almost everyone on this site would know better than myself.
Thanks again,
-Dan
