Vinyl Entry Level HiFi System
/With the resurgence of vinyl records we have put together what we consider to be an outstanding entry level plug and play system. Everything is provided with the system (No phono stages, interconnects, etc) all you will need to add is suitable lengths of speaker cable.
The system comprises of the Project Elemental 'What Hi-fi 5 Star' award winning turntable partnered with the Pioneer A20-K 50W integrated amplifier and the Wharfedale Diamond 210 bookshelf loudspeakers.
On listening to the system we have found it to offer outstandingly good sound quality for the Financial outlay. The treble is clean and detailed, the midrange is extremely open with an excellent sound stage and the bass extension belies the diminutive size of the Wharfedale loudspeakers.
The system (Excluding loudspeaker cables) comes in at a very affordable cost of £488.90 Including VAT.
Here is an Overview of the components. (We have also given possible upgrade options for each component to improve on what is already an exceptionally well balanced system).
The Elemental is a true plug and play turntable, no adjustment is required for the tracking weight or anti-skating as they are pre adjusted. All that is required is to remove it from the box, remove the bearing guard, locate the belt around the platter and remove the stylus guard. One more thing, place a record on the platter and your listening to music.
