Yep, a bit like me when I started out, he’s realising budget is fucked.
I have some heavy stands I could gift, anybody used these? Less screechy than the latest Kef etc.?

Ariston RD80 TT with ADC ALT-1 tonearm and Shure M97 HE cartridge collect only from Oxford £225
Arcam Alpha amplifier (with tuner thrown in) £55 - as a starter
Heybrook HB3 speakers £350 - but collect only from Hartlepool
Comes in at a whisker over £600 - The HB3s were a lovely speaker, designed by Peter Comeau. The RD80 will happily run for years and a new JiCO stylus (when funds permit) will elevate the Shure’s performance. The Arcam Alpha will do for the time being.

The Sony sut was selling or a nice reciever to do radio duties too and an amazon echo to plumb the iPhone Spotify in
Have sent this on, great speakers thank you

I’ve had a pair of these for a few years, used them in our last
house in a smaller room and they are good for their size, good balance between life and ‘liveability’ - BUT - the Heybrooks @topoxforddoc found sound like a much better fit for your friend, and they are superb for the money

Isn’t JB selling his Luxman amp? Would look very nice in a starter system

Good shout. Has a phono too, I believe
Might be worth asking guy if he has any ex demo or similar heco bookshelves or if sodders has and bits still for sale
He could get a quad 77 integrated for sub 200,but have no idea if they are any good

And would look great in a retro system. Especially a vinyl setup.
Yep, that was on my list, will ask if still available
It does and it’s very good.
