If you are in the Midlands, I have a pair of Mordaunt-Short MS3.40's
with stands you can have for 50 quid.
(Never been thrashed, full service history.)

Eiron.

Add a cheap new CD player (£50) with a Meridian 203
DAC (£100 Ebay) and a Pioneer A400 (£75 Ebay) or
similar (Nad 3020 £40 Ebay) amplifier and you have
better than decent sound for less than £300.

Better still, buy a £150 CD player............

Better again, go to Richer Sounds and buy:

Cambridge Audio CD5 - £99.95

Cambridge Audio A300 - £139.95

Mordaunt-Short MS906 - 349.95 (black or maple)

I'm sure if you buy the whole system, they'll throw in all the cables
you need. Total outlay of less than 600 squids, all new gear, and
top-class sound by any reasonable standard.

600 squids? His budget is £200. Do three of your squids equal
one of his pounds?

Name one person who ever went into a hi-fi store and didn't blow his
budget! :-)

He could start with the electronics and Eirons MS3.40s, and get better
speakers as funds allow.

From your comments you clearly have ears of cloth. I'm beginning
to sympathise with Trotsky :-)

From your comments you clearly have guts of jelly - or are you backing
off your comments about 'cable sound'?
