Endohopper Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) Sure , you should be able to just hook up your I-pod to most amplifiers . Go here HERE for some erm... sound advice . Edited March 18, 2005 by Endohopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusional Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 If you want seperates though you're probably going to have to spend more than £70. Generally bottom of the range amps and speakers will start at around £60 and £50 respectfully (and that's if you shop in Richer Sounds). Be warned, the road of buying and learning about hi-fi/home cinema stuff is a slippery and expensive route! You'll soon be pimping yourself out, bit by bit, to get that £500 for the reciever you just have to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) all you need is a phono to 3.5mm jack cable. From £2 to about £2000 depends what u wanna pay Simply plug the 3.5mm jack (headphones) into the headphone socket on the ipod and then the phonos into an input on the back of the amp. As for speakers+amp - you can pick up old model B&W speakers on ebay for under £100 which will blow away anything richer sounds stock.. full stop. dont go to richer soudns its all unbranded shit. Amp.. hm... again ebays ur best bet.. Edited March 18, 2005 by trialsmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 not being funny but there is no point getting a decent amp and speakers if you are only going to plug in an ipod mini !!!! the sound quality from one of those is pretty poor, plus its coming from an mp3 or apple bollox source which has already reduced the quality somewhat........ Its only worth getting a quality amp if you have a quality source . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means that when you buy a CD deck you should have a good enough amp to do it justice. Thesubway: meant to mention earlier, on your budget your best bet is probably to keep an eye out on eBay and Cash Converters like shops (although you'll be lucky to get a good deal in the latter, they're overpriced about 95% of the time).
