No wonder this group is described as 'Audio'.
'Hi-Fi' it ain't...
...LOL

Deck was free from a mate many years ago, speakers (Pioneer twin bass
reflex, look awful but sound ok) £15 from a tat shop, amp (Sony TA-F3A) £25
from a car boot. PC (homebuilt) goes into the amp too, as does a cheap
Phillips cassette player (£20 new). Guitar, keyboard often goes through the
amp via the PC as needed. As does HF radio and VHF/UHF scanner.

I can play just about any audio, video format, listen to radio frequencies
from long wave to microwave and jam along to stuff with the guitar with
reaonable reproduction, working on the vinyl as you know, it'll get there
though. Bearing in mind that my lp's have all seen better days after many
excellent nights debauching in the dark with scratches, dust and the odd
beer spillage it's really not worth spending real money on something that
will reproduce clicks, clonks and hiss in stunning Hi-Fi....

This whole setup does what i need, I have a very small fron room so power is
not an issue really. If needed i can use DSP to fiddle about with the output
of any or all of my sources. And it really hasn't cost me a great deal. If
it goes "phut!" tomorrow i've not lost much. I never did claim it was Hi-Fi
anyway. I don't expect it for £60 worth of kit. "Recreational Audio" seemed
to sum up what I do with this kit so that's why I posted here.
