In Reply to: 5k to build a system from scratch...what to do? posted by dschwab on February 12, 2010 at 20:52:21:
For what it's worth my 5K system would include the following, used of course:
Amp - Odyssey Khartago or Stratos with power supply upgrade, $600.00 - $900.00
Preamp - Modwright 9.0 Linestage, $1,100.00 - $1300.00, Eastern Electric Minimax for $500.00 - $600.00 Sounds great with the Odyssey even though the impedance match says it shouldn't work.
Speakers - Klipsch Forte I, then do crossover cap upgrade, $300 - $600 from Craigslist. They love some juice even though they are very effecient.
Digital - Eastern Electric Tube CD Player or new EE Dac with Sabre Chip, $450.00 - $700.00
Turntable - Thorens (Various Models), Systemdek IIX, Technics 1200, 1600, VPI Scout, $200.00 - $1100.00
Cartridge - Too many to list, your preference.
$4600.00 on the high side plus cartridge. $2150.00 on the low side plus cartridge. You better check my math after some good Pinot.
