Hi to all,
I'm planning to buy my first hifi set. I'd like to ask you whether the combination of the hardware is good - whether it works together, but also whether I can improve something (or whether something is a needless overkill) within the similar budget.
So here is my planned setup:
Turntable: Rega Planar P2
Pre-amp: Cambridge Audio CP1 or Pro-ject Phono Box S2
Amplifier/receiver: Cambridge Audio AXR100 or Yamaha A-S501 or Onkyo A-9130 or Marantz PM6007 (advice welcomed)
Speakers: Elac Debut B6.2 (or possibly DBR62, if I find some extra cash)
The whole set is bought mainly for playing my vinyls (everything you can imagine from classical music to rap), but I'd like to connect my TV via optical cable and possibly CD/DVD player via optical or coaxial cable.
I will have this set in a 31,5 sq. meters/340 sq. ft. room, but due to other equipment, not in the center. Investments in some sound dampening will be a must.
One more thing - due to the room setup, I will have to have a cable from the pre-amp to the amplifier around almost the whole room - about 20 metres/66 feet of cable. Is that doable? And do I need some special type of cable or some higher class pre-amp?
All tips and recommendations welcomed!
Thanks!
