A Guide to Building Your First Hi-Fi System
\n\nPutting together your first hi-fi system can seem overwhelming, but it does not have to be. At DOYMO we have been helping people like you discover the pleasure of great sound since 1995. This guide explains the basics, step by step.
\n\nThe 3 basic components
\nEvery hi-fi system needs three elements:
\n- \n
- Sound source: This can be a turntable (such as Pro-Ject or Rega), a CD player, a network music server (streamer) or even your phone connected via Bluetooth. \n
- Amplifier: The heart of the system. Brands such as Marantz, NAD, Cambridge Audio or Naim offer options for every budget. \n
- Speakers: The voice of your system. Bowers and Wilkins, Focal, KEF, Dali... the choice depends on your taste, your room and your budget. \n
How much do you need to spend?
\nA quality hi-fi system starts at around €1,000–1,500 (amplifier + speakers + source). From there, every increase in budget translates into better sound. At DOYMO we offer everything from entry-level systems to reference setups. If you are in Barcelona, Catalonia or anywhere in Spain, we will advise you.
\n\nThe listening room
\nSound does not depend only on the equipment: the room matters enormously. The distance between speakers, the distance from the wall, the furniture... it all has an effect. In our store in Sitges (Barcelona) we can recreate conditions similar to those in your own home and help you choose with confidence.
\n\nIs vinyl worth it?
\nYes. Vinyl offers a sonic and tactile experience that many enthusiasts prefer. Brands such as Pro-Ject, Rega and Technics offer turntables from under €300. At DOYMO we have a selection of turntables and records to help you start your collection.
\n\nCome and listen
