Since I have accidentally shared my budget stereophile setup in Edifier Signature Series thread, I think it is more appropriate to put it here.
This thread is intended to share on how we can setup stereophile system without putting a big whole in the wallet using the least amount of $$$. The specs below (without power conditioner, Media Source and DACs) cost about RM1k.
Let's start by sharing your specs...
- Integrated amplifier: Cambridge Audio Azur 340A SE (2nd hand but still very new)
