Good day!
I've got a severe case of analysis paralysis.
My father recently gave me his Rega Planar 3, along with the record he bought back with the turntable. Now, I'm not a vinyl guy. I don't even have an amp with a phono in, but there's a special circle in hell reserved for people who don't take care of or use fine gear given to them.
Thus, I'm on a mission to 1. get the turntable serviced, and 2. get an amplifier with a phono in so I can actually listen to the thing.
So what I'd need is this:
An amplifier that can drive 2 bookshelf speakers, with a low-level subwoofer connection, and a phono in. All for a reletively miniscule budget of about R5k. Something like the NAD 3020v2 would have been absolutely ideal, but 10k is just a tad more than I'd like to spend at this point.
Is this even possible or should I just save up for the NAD?
