Hi folks,

My son is 11 and I've decided I will build him his first system, but a pretty decent starter bundle...

I already have an Amptastic Mini One, a CCA, and some Kralks I bought in the classifieds recently that I'm picking up at the next South Coast bake-off in May. These were destined to make a little office system for me, but I've decided to set up a little system for him instead. I will be giving him his own Tidal subscription as well.

What I'd like to do is to also get him a simple deck and phononstage to get him started. Nothing exotic (and inexpensive in the Wam massive price stakes).

Had anyone got a cheap working low-cost deck youd be happy to move on? Also phononstage? Emphasise low cost, please. He's 11...

I will be setting this up in May for him, so no rush.

PM's please.

Cheers,

Technics SL-D1, decent enough condition, lid is good, all working well. Fully serviced by me. New cork (or leather, cant remember which) mat. Shure M75 cart with good stylus.

£100 plus post or collect Northampton.

I have an eon plastic turntable which I believe has it's on pre built in.... Also has usb input.. Also a Sony XE370 CDP
You can have the FOC if you can collect.
Might be a cheaper way to see if he has any love for vinyl or CDs
Thanks for the offer, but it's a bit far away for me.

Thanks for all replies folks and PM sent to @vinyl4ever


*****************
Amptastic = excellent product but you're stuffed if it stops working
@audio_PHIL_e agreed these tiny boxes are excellent. It looks pretty well made too, plus they are still available for sale (new) on eBay, so could be replaced, if required. Should be plenty to get him started.

The little Amptastic and the Kralks should be the basis of a great little starter setup for him.

He likes his music, and just has a tiny midi-all-in-one system in his bedroom at the moment. So I'm hoping setting this little system up will start him on his way to loving it, as I do...

Now sorted. Thanks all and super-top-wamming thanks to @vinyl4ever

Hopefully, he likes records (and cds) but if not, and he prefers streaming then I will pass the deck and CD player onto the next person for someone else's starter kit.

Thanks again all!
