That is kind of you, but I am not really looking for black, sorry. Fair enough, I can understand that completely… good luck with your hunt

If you are determined to go down the 5.1 route then a Yamaha is likely to be the best bet if you are also looking for good 2 channel sound and at that price it is a steal. Paul.

Right guys a user of another forum says I can have a Harmon Kardon CD7400 if I pay for the carriage from America. Would it be worth going for it? I would be putting the source first as some have suggested?

I can't find that model anywhere. Why would you buy such a thing from the US? Wrong voltage, high shipping fees.

It's Harman, not Harmon.
It does exist, but as already said, makes no sense to get an American one due to the different voltage.
Also, as well as carriage charges you may also have to pay duty, VAT and the Parcelforce handling charge when it goes through customs.
All in all, not a good idea.
Much better to search Ebay with the EU option.

Here you go Moth. Get this - it'll be cheaper and will sound better.

....or maybe you can get someone to give you one of these for the price of the postage.

I have not investigated the surface mail cost. I agree though as Pre advises, the cost and voltage would both make a nonsense of the offer.

I know none of your equipment. Looking at it I suspect the source and amp will your weakest links For CDs two of the cheapest ways I know is a Blue ray player as Transport with a good DAC or the Raspberry Pi route. Let us know if either route appeals and we can advise from there Cheap amps you will need to decide between second hand or T amps to keep costs down I want something silver and finished John, but thanks for the info.

I'd be tempted to replace your main source, I don't think you'd be disappointed with a Rega Turntable. CD player choice can vary according to taste, lots of stuff to choose from for very little these days. These are examples of how I would spend my cash and others will inevitably have their faves. The thing is, these days you don't have to choose which bits to tackle first because there is a cornucopia of great kit for next to nothing, Good luck whatever you choose. I may get a rega, thanks. On the CD front, the japanese makes are the best aren't they? I shall stick to either, Yamaha, Hitachi, Pioneer, Denon, or JVC.

The Pioneer that Chris linked to would be excellent for the money.
