I have recently started selling off my main system because our first child is on the way. I can also see I may not have the time to enjoy my system as much as I used to. With this in mind, I realized I still need some form of music so a friend suggested I build a nice office system that is budget minded to at least give me something to enjoy. Well, I took his idea & ran with it. I purchased everything used on Audiogon & feel I have assembled a very nice system for not a lot of money. At first I said it is good for what it is but the more time I spend with it the more I am enjoying it. I will no longer refer to it being as good as what it is in a negative way, it has become a very enjoyable system. Your comments are welcome as always.
Office system, sounds nice enough not to get any work done. Congrats on the new one on the way. You will indeed not have as much time to listen at home, but don't give up too soon on a at least modest home system. Music soothes the soul. Would like you to further post your impressions on your new phono preamp as I have just picked one up as well. Your Mac may well last and sound good until you can hand it down. Happy listening. Glen
