Vintage receiver vs New Mini Hi-Fi system ?

[kiwi32]

Thank you for both of your reply!
SteveW:
I was initially planning to use the other output too,but then how to wire it with the EQ?
So I believe I have to split the EQ outputs and use only main out for my system(unless I want a raw record without eq effects later).
JoeE SP9:
The tt expansion is definitely a considerable plus for the receiver.

So far,2-0 for the receiver!

The console should have eq on it. If you want pre/post eq for recording and monitors you may need a second eq and you probably won't want to record the "wet" signals going to the monitors.

You may find the eq on the console will work to correct/enhance the recording feed.

Again, it's how you use the system. I would opt for a baseline eq for the monitors so you have something to work from when listening/recording different media/sources.

Get the receiver, put it together and play with it a bit to see what works best for your objectives.
