I've all the gears. Whatelse do I need?


Hello everyone,
It took me 4 months to research and get all these used gears: Triangle Celius ES, Primaluna Prologue 2, and Rega Jupiter 2000. Whatelse do I need to get these guys to make sound? I already spent $3,500 for my first Hi-fi system.
I'm running out of my bullet. I'm tryig to find something under $300 or $200 if possible. Please help. By the way, I love warm sound but very detailed sound.

Thank you,
Chulhee

Don't listen to these guys trying to sell you cables. It's a scam. You don't need any cables. Save your money.
Chulheekim, It is difficult to tell from your post exactly the kind of help you are looking for. You've got some good stuff and should be able to get some very good 'sounds' from it. Are you still in need of equipment? If so what kind?

Assuming you have, or will have, all of the basic equipment, proper set up is essential to getting good sound.

Inattention to room acoustics and set up will almost always result in poor sound. Unfortunately for those who don't know this, they think the problem is with their equipment and they buy and buy and buy trying solve a problem which can be solved as simply as moving a speaker a few feet or inches or deadening a source of reflections.
Chulhee,

I don't fully understand your question.

Are you saying you have already purchased speakers, CD player and an Integrated amp and you want to know what else you need to make sound? If so, the answer is you need to connect your CD player to the integrated amp with a pair of interconnect cables, connect the Integrated amp to the speakers using a pair of speaker cables, connect the power cords to a power outlet and turn it on. Put in a CD, press play and you should get sound.

If you are asking how to improve the sound, the answer isn't that simple. Yes, cables (interconnect, speaker, power) can change the sound a bit, but we don't know what issues you have with the sound now, so it is impossible to make a suggestion. Also, we don't know what cables you are using now, so making a recommendation is futile.

Pleas clarify your question. Is the system working now? Are you getting music from the system? Are you asking for technical assistance with installing your system or are you asking for recommendations to improve the sound?

BTW, the Triangle/Primaluna/Rega combination would seem to be a very good setup, although I have not heard the combination.

Enjoy,

TIC
Try electricity-but you will have to pay monthly and it may well run be more than $300 over time.
Congratulations Chulhee, you're almost there.

For speaker wire and interconnects I would look into entry level products from Kimber, Analysis Plus, AudioQuest, MIT, Cardas or Wireworld to name a few. These are well established companies with excellent products. Good luck and happy listening.

Cheers
