Got myself a pair of B&W DM601 S3 second hand and I need an amplifier and CD-player which would run these more than fine. Listen mainly to old rock, classical and opera..

Looking for tips what to look for second hand, and I'm looking for something in the budget section (max 500$ for the 2).

Got at the moment a old technics system to run them, run just ok nothing more, and I know that they can do better.

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate help from someone with some more knowledge in the hifi part than me.

Sony scd-ce595 is a good cd player - plays super audio CDs which sound a lot better.

For amps, you could get this one -

If that one is sold, you can get these :

You need these 2 amps - pre and power.

Good luck,

Also have a look at NAD's new entry level 515BEE separates which are in that price range.
