THE OBJECTIVE:
The objective here is to, on a continual basis, refine the best system, under £100, that can be achieved today, pre-owned.
A FEW GROUND RULES:
Interconnects, power cords and speaker cables ... in this context are ... in audiophile terms “rubbish”. They aren’t of course, but that’s not really the point. The point is that in the context of the system, the “rubbish” bits do the job.
PLEASE NOTE:
Every item in the system has been purchased by me off the auction sites.
At this cheap-as-chips level, the individual prices paid are irrelevant. Focus if you will on the system synergy as a whole please.
The experiment has only just got under way. From time to time I’ll purchase a pre-owned item, insert it into the system and see if overall the sound is improved. And then I’ll tell you the differences I have found – if any!
