I'm currently playing a cheap ion profile table through my old sony cp33 md micro hifi and I'm going to buy either a new table or setup.
I'm in a bit of a muddle what to do tho as I'm currently trying to cut back on spending and get something new on a budget. I'm looking at the pro-ject essential table but my problem is I don't know whether to just get a preamp to go with it or should I start buying the single units and get an amp to use with my current speakers?
I've noticed that the volume on the aux in on the hifi is quieter than a cd so would the single units be any improvement on the sound baring in mind I'd be using the same speakers or would it be a waste of money just now?
I'd ideally not want to go down the second hand charity shop purchases due to no warranties etc.
Any help or advice is suggested.
