What kind of record gear is your choosing? I’ve got a pretty decent collection, but I’m really not happy with the player nor speakers. Hoping for something compact. One that can go direct from player to speaker would be ideal - albeit not realistic as I’m finding. In all honesty, our tunes are sent via Bluetooth from the phone. The records are more art, but the occasional play is fine with a glass in hand. |
We've got a U-Turn turntable, nothing fancy, but sounds nice to our ears, I would say just a step above an entry level table.
We went with KEF Q500 floor speakers, but they make some good shelf speakers with the same technology now.
Our amp is the Heaven11 Billie amp, which is a quality piece of gear that we admittedly bought for the aesthetic more than any other reason.
Our very first setup was an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB. It consistently ranks as the best "starter" turntable and down the road you can upgrade the cartridge if you want to bump the performance up a little. We used the same KEF speakers from day #1, but these Edifier S1000DBs are highly rated shelf speakers that look good and won't break the bank (
