Guest jackwmills Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 hi, I've just bought a Stanton t62 and a pair of wharfdale speakers, just need to know which amp or tuner amp will be compatable or if anybody has any thing they are selling that will do, getting sick of my old portable, thanks Jack.
martynthejazz Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Get yourself over to the nearest Richer sounds mate if you can.....or Superfi , ...etc.....But also when you do see something you like, check the web for decent prices......If youre playing vinyl, cd, etc...you will need a hifi stereo amp.....don't get mixed up and buy a multi cinema type amp...even if cheaper...these are for tv, dvd speakers set up..etc...... You will need a amp with built in phono stage....or you will need to buy a small phono stage thingy...like pro-ject. also think about how many speakers you will require...you may only need the normal one set for one room...But some amps like mine have two sets so you can use two sets of speakers, say for two rooms at the same time, or either room... Then think how many units you will be using it for......deck, cd, cassette even, tuner, ...etc......Good luck.
martynthejazz Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Just a thought....you can pick up without speakers the Denon DM 39...about £169.......which is a space saving unit..,which will be a cd, dab, unit + usb input to let you play your files...etc....But even though it does habe a rca input..( normal 2 wire leads )...think to play a turntable through it you will need the pro-ject phono box thingy ?.....But check.Richer, superfi, sell these.

Bo Diddley Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 If it's just to play your records, I'd recommend a NAD 3020. I bought one new in about 1987 and still going strong !!! Very basic, no frills, good enough to make a right old racket in most homes. Simply plug your deck and speakers into the back and away you go. Can also plug in CD and Tuner (and tape deck!!) Plenty second hand on eBay - about £80 1
martynthejazz Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Quinvy......yes pre-amp I believe it is.......thanks.......You can get brand new Amps with phono stage all ready for a turntable from £170.......

Guest jackwmills Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 HI, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLIES, I WENT ON EBAY AND BOUGHT, NAD 7020E STEREO TUNER AMP FOR £50, LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME BETTER SOUNDS THAN MY PHILIPS BATTERY PORTABLE WHICH HAS DONE ME PROUD FOR 20 YEARS AFTER SELLING MY OLD STACK SYSTEM, AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR REPLIES, JACK (ZAC) MILLS.
