Long time listener, first time caller.
So i'm in the process of putting together my first truly high fidelity stereo system and I wanted to see if anyone could help me out with a few questions/concerns here is what I plan on getting:
NAD375BEE Integrated Amp
NADPP1 Phono Stage
Rega P3-24 Turntable
Dynaudio Focus 220 II
I'm trying to figure out overall what kind of cables I will need to connect everything, I should first mention that moneywise i'm looking for decent affordable cables and no craziness, I'm not of the school of thought that they make much difference soundwise (not trying to start anything of course, to each his own) but I would prefer something that is a little higher quality in build then the radioshack type crap and is somewhat neat and aesthetically pleasing to appease the girlfriend. Also i'm assuming I will need an interconnect though i'm not sure what this is or why I need it maybe someone can help me out with that. I'm trying to keep my cable budget all said and done to under $300.00
Also while I keep feeling like I have everything figured out I seem to be going back and forth between the Rega P3 and the Music Hall 5.1SE turntable so i'd appreciate opinions on either. So far i've determined that I like the overall look of the music hall a little better and that it has a built in level and higher end cartridge that comes standard (Heroica LX I believe), The Rega on the other hand is handbuilt and seems a bit sturdier in quality, the glass platter is real nice and it has a seperate power supply however the cartridge it comes with is a little lower in quality.
I've also debated purchasing a different phono stage, I was looking at the project tube box, since the the system will be mainly for phono use only I thought it might make sense to have a "better" quality phono stage though i'm not sure how much of a difference it would make overall. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
