Home Stereo Systems (4)

Anybody care to discuss home stereo rigs?

I need one. Basically (very open to suggestions):
*2 channel stereo.
*No audiophile pretentiousness -- insanely expensive tube amps and pure unobtainium cabling seems unnecessary to me.
*Clean, neutral sound. Loud enough to serenade the neighbors with goa trance at 4 AM.
*Relatively compact -- will be used in a small bedroom.
*Componentized so parts can be replaced or upgraded as needed without buying a whole new setup.

Knowing next to nothing about audio kit, any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

I have an oldish Fisher Studio-Standard from the 80s or so. It has about everything you specified...most modular stereo equipment from the 70s or 80s will, though. Hit up the thrift store and see if they have anything worthwhile.

For silent listening - Sennheiser HD-555
For aloud listening - Sony home theater system

This. Don't worry if it's tape/CD drive is broken here's why:

Plug a spare computer sound card into the AUX input and run MPD then you've got your own networked, remotely controllable jukebox on a budget.
