I have stumbled into a starter 2 channel audio system, trying to figure out suggestions for interconnects, speaker cables, a tuner, and potentially a record player. I cannot pretend to have done a great job matching things as I don't know much. However, I loved the Arcam CD player -- it truly opened my eyes to what good gear can do. I loved the tone of the Classe and had heard great things about the phono stage. Of the spakers I auditioned, it came down to the Joseph's vs. Dynaudio 1.8's (I also listened to B&W's, Sonus Faber, Thiel's, KEF's, and Audio Physics -- the Audio Physics were great, but I got scared by speaker placement issues). I just really found the Joseph's to be very quick, very neutral, and the fact that the salesman and I spent two hours going through my cd collection, just enjoying the listening told me what I needed to know (when we put on Voodoo Child, the entire store came into the listening room). In addition to feedback on the system (be kind please!), I would love ideas for these items in roughly the following price ranges (used: interconnet: $150 - 250 speaker cables: $250 -350 Tuner: $150 - 250 Record player: $300 - 600 Thank you for your ideas.
