My husband has a B&O 2404 and a sweet record collection that he inherited from his parents. He wants to get a full set up (speakers, etc..) and I would like to buy him that for Christmas. I don't know anything about record players. I've done online searches but I'm still confused.
I've done enough research to know that I need to buy a preamp since the unit is from the mid-1980s.
Here are my questions.
Is B&O 2404 a good record player or is it worth buying him a new one?
If I keep the B&O, I know I need a pre amp, but will I also need a reciever? If so, is there a device that combines both a pre-amp and receiver into one? Any recommendations that won't break the bank?
