I mostly listen to 60`s, 70s, some 80s/90s Rock, Fusion, 40s/50s/60s Jazz, and Classical.

Wow!! That`s a really nice setup you got there :bigups



All of a sudden, i don`t feel bad about all the money spent in the last 3 months on Rupes polisher / pads / polishes, compounds. Sonax, 22PLE, opti coat etc.....lol.



Are those room treatments you have there? What kind if anything special? I like the monoblock stands btw.

[Wasatch]

Thanks. Nothing special, just some carpet panels from WalMart.

I haven`t owned a turntable since 1986...

Vinyl is making a big comeback. The newer TTs sound fantastic also.

[Ch96067]

Thank god (for my money) I haven`t got into vinyl yet. I got convinced by a good friend to make an investment on music (CD set up for now).



I listen the same as the OP + rythm&blues. I am trying to build my `knowledge` from the ground up. Allmusic is just great for that.

Closest thing I have to vinyl is a non working vintage phonograph from 1920 or so. Ive done some basic detailing on it as I keep it an office furniture piece.

Damn you, Styrnol!



Ever since you posted this two weeks ago I can`t stop thinking about turntables!



(Awesome rig you have there, by the way.)



Haven`t bought any new vinyl in many years but I kept all my old stuff. Haven`t played any in years either, even thought the home theater receiver that replaced my two-channel gear actually has a phono stage.



My old turntable is under a pile of microfibers to keep the dust cover from getting scratched. (The household predators love sleeping on top of it.) It was always meant as a stopgap until I could afford to buy a decent deck but CD`s came along, my lifestyle changed, yada, yada, yada and I never got around to upgrading.



Now you went and got me started scanning ebay for Linn`s and SOTA`s and other stuff I can`t afford and probably wouldn`t be able to use much anyway. Hmmmm, maybe if I can find an old AR to hotrod.....

Get yourself a Record Cleaning Machine and start listening. If you need a new TT, just get a Rega RP1 bundle and start playing some vinyl again.

[the other pc]

Well, I don`t need a new TT. The one I have is pretty decent.



But of course I want one. Good enough never is.
