Message-ID: <7633@uwm.edu> Date: 14 Nov 90 13:38:03 GMT Sender: news@uwm.edu Lines: 21 Approved: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Originator: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Hi. I'm a novice audiophile, about to purchase a semi high end system. It doesn't look like I've got the cash to go with tube technolgy. I've got approx $4k to spend and this a preliminary rought draft of what I'm thinking about: Carver TFM-25 Amp Carver CT-17 Preamp/tuner KEF 104.2 Speakers Denon DCD-2560 CD player What I'd like is some opinions on the components and some alternatives...I know quite a bit has got to do with personal preference but I'd value some expert preferences. It's not that I'm looking to save money, I'm trying to get the most of what I've allotted to spend..... Thanks much..... mlessin@cms.cc.wayne.edu
