Ok, So this will probably best be fielded by the audiophiles of the forum. I am moving into my apartment soon (its a bit small but place is made of wood, not concrete, and standard thickness walls for Japan. So acoustics are decent and I dont need anything too loud), and I want to build a fairly ok stereo setup for movies, vinyl, and high bit MP3s. I dont really want a surround system and am running on a budget. I have been eyeballing used Marantz Amps on Yahoo auctions and found a few Technics 1200MK3s that are in ok shape. I haven't bought anything yet so I would appreciate a bit of help before I make the plunge and start getting stuff.
Any specific models of amps, turn tables or speakers you could suggest for me? I understand whatever deck I get I will probably have to toss a decent cart and stylus in there so any suggestions for that would be cool too.
I would prefer to keep it under $350 for everything. Yahoo auctions Japan and Kakaku are both at my disposal so anything you guys find on there and can link to me would be cool too.
So far I was thinking about going a kit like this:
Denon D-MX11 for about $220 or the speakers can be had by themselves for about $150 a pair.
