Putting together a second system

Unread post by Vinyl-ant »

Got loads of bits to put together a second system

The core of which will be a modded a20/p20 amp.
Mods are a different pot in the p20 and a conversion to 3 inputs, mods to the a20 are different feedback resistor values to pull the gain down a little. The a20/p20 is just far too high gain for the big fanes downstairs which are over 100db efficient, it just doesnt work with them, i cant get the volume off the bottom stop before its far too loud. I could shunt the pot thats in the pre but its still going to be far far too loud

I have pauls old project phono stage, and a choice of about half a dozen turntables. Might use the roksan xerxes i fixed and a tabriz. ive got another half dozen arms but the tabriz is meant for it. and whatever cart. I have a load.

Ive just rebuilt a gorgeous mk1 oracle delphi but that will have to go back to its owner at some point so thats really the only one i cant use

I have some audio technica electret cans to use with it, which it why i bought the a20/p20 in the first place, but no speakers because i passed the little missions i had onto mi dad.

No cd player at the moment because my second one is being used elsewhere, i vould find a squeezebox out to use if i can be arsed, but just some vinyl and headphones for now is the plan.

Dunno what to do with speakers, i don't really want to spend a great deal.

I'm confident you'll come up with a good speaker solution...
