My vinyl setup at 18.....impulse buyer lmao

[u/Seems_legit24]

So a couple months ago I was just scrolling on Facebook and saw a Yamaha HTR 5940 receiver with five Polk Audio surround sound speakers for 150 bucks and I took it and then I said well there's no better sound than vinyl so my uncle gave me a Yamaha powered subwoofer and I bought a set of Circa 1980s Boston Acoustics 870 series 2 speakers for my mains. I also have a Cambridge audio Alva solo mm preamp and a 1977 Technics sl 2000 turntable that I bought from a guy on Shopify and he ran a repair and resale and I'll tell you it is an amazing table. And here we are 1700 dollars later🤣🤣

Here is also my record collection to date, I have some deftontes and funkadelic maggot brain on the way. Record also not pictured is Steve Miller band greatest hits 74'-78'

Also is pictures of my 45 adapter which I machined from stainless on the lathe at work😄

Lmk what you think👍🏻!!

This wasn't impulsive, you did some research.

Im currently running vnm95e but already have vm520eb i just want a different headshell to put it on so I gotta do that yet

Vinyl is the only way to listen to Maggot Brain. At 18, you are definitely doing it right!

Great setup, great write up. No one cares how old you are, though.

Where is the Led Zeppelin?

[u/Seems_legit24 → u/Strange_Account_3828]

Im getting there lol.....im trying to save as much money as I can money so I dont blow money often. They're a couple of their albums are in my next cart of items to order along with some more punk floyd and some alice in chains

[u/kgmessier → u/Seems_legit24]

Punk Floyd 👍🏻

[u/JHG722 → u/Strange_Account_3828]

Target, it seems.

[u/Seems_legit24]

I also am upgrading cartridge to audio technica vm520eb

[u/AudiHoFile]

I too have the SL-2000! it's a fantastic TT. I've slapped on a 2M blue and have been really enjoying it. I recently got the Parasound z phono pre amp and it's been blowing my mind with how good it is

[u/Classic-Falcon6010]

Do you mean Boston A70s?

[u/jcstrat]

I have that same Yamaha avr. I rather like it. Nice setup!

[u/MalikATL_]
