I don’t want large speakers and plan to just listen with headphones. Would like a decent hi-fi quality but not stupid expensive. Maybe a budget of up to a grand for the lot. What’s good nowadays (have been without hi-fi gear for years)?

Mine dates from 1986, so not what you’re after.

Rega RP3 turntable
Rotel RA10 amp
Bereseford Caiman DAC (for PC/Digital tunes)
Grado SR80 headphones (Connected to the DAC)

Asking on here is no substitution for going to a shop and listening to stuff.

For about a grand (I might go a bit over) I’d be starting by looking at something like this:

Grado SR325se headphones
Schiit Lyr headphone amp
Project phono preamp
Project Debut 3 turntable
