Help with setting up a new " all audio/phono " experience

5 replies

It has been a while but I really could use your help and expertise.

I have re-connected with Vinyl and CD's and would like to set up a true listening experience in the living room of our 2nd home. The room is about 30x15, hardwood, oriental rugs and lots of soft furnishings.

The project is a white sheet of paper with no pre-conceived notion but a desire to to end up with a beautiful non tiring sound experience. The system does not need to provide any video infrastructure - just audio. 

Currently the only "givens" are a) high quality analog TT and Cartridge (Clearaudio/Virtuoso) and Beolab 20 (using wireless connections). I think anything bigger than the Beolab would probably be an overkill given the size of the room, however, I am open to all suggestions., 

So, what would be the recommendation to connect these two pieces and how would one tie a great CD player ( recommendations) and the ability to stream music from my i phone ( Deezer).

 

Thanks a lot.

Room size 30x15 meter/feet or ?

 

Location: Split,Croatia

Goops - that would be feet !

Ps in case it is useful/interesting see here for an overview of the beogram cd 7000

Thank you Luke for the info on the cd 7000 and after reading your comments I have done some additional information and yes indeed this will be a great choice !!

 

Where I am really struggling and hopefully I get even the question correct. 

What is the " something- the device" that I can plug an analog TT and analog CD player into that is capable of getting that information in a wireless fashion to the Beolab 20, and that would also enable or aid in handling streaming from Deezer on my iPhone
