Hifi, Lofi - Show us What you Listen With…...

[Aetas]

@Crispy-Heron My daughter asked me nearly the same question a few days ago.
My answer was a pic. Shure you’ll find out the price range quickly. Starts from right to left .

[Crispy Heron]

@Aetas -let me guess? The best one is the one on the right and it costs lots!

Project debut carbon evo is solid starter table. Moonstone needle is nice upgrade

[Aetas]

I am a trained down lefthander .
The left one is the most costly solution I allowed myself. Under a thousand €.

[Crispy Heron]

@Aetas - so I gathered when I went into the links! Some great suggestions. Now the difficult bit - what would be the best sound be a range from Slayer to Bad Religion to Nick Cave to The Beatles to Mozart. Hmm.

The best sound is in your soul, and the room and the situation when listening. You can't do anything wrong with a Project or a Technics.

@Crispy-Heron
Literally this is my sound line:
Needle, amplifier and source of output.
Know this could get worse.
(🧆 there is no emoji for Wax Treasure?!).
Better discussed on the Hi-Fi thread I’ll guess …

@Aetas - you have been super helpful. Thanks. Love vinyl and am sick of listening to music on my phone.

Should have send this words to my daughter instead .
The sound system is overrated 🫵.

@Crispy-Heron

That’s a great starter budget so you have some options..

For Belt-Drive:
-Rega Planar 2
-Project Evo
-Audio Technica-LP7

Direct-Drive:

• Audio Technica LP120
  -Technics SL1200
  -Thorens TD 402

Whatever money you have left I say you put it into a solid stereo system + preamp system. But that’s for another thread (Hi-fi)

Feel free to message me if you have any other questions. I feel like we can get into a deep rabbit hole with this question haha

@GraemeE what up dude!
I think you forgot to attach a photo on your post… unless it’s glitching on my end

Wish I had some good turntable recs. I went all in on vintage gear when I had my vinyl renaissance. I could probably get in on a convo around that side of things.
As mentioned before a Rega or AT is a solid choice to get the records spinning. But most of my turntable and amp/ receiver experience is with old pioneer, Marantz, and Luxman gear.

@Crispy-Heron @GraemeE @Aetas @68degreesorless @endo @J-IV @Mizmazzle Moved the discussion here.

@Mizmazzle I'm not into vinyl, but I really like Darko's approach to hifi. I know he's done a few tt reviews in the past few years with a focus on pragmatist hifi or something like that. I think he has a website but I've only ever followed him on YouTube. He's got a good ear in my experience when I've listened to some of the same gear and I like that he has a really varied taste in music and isn't snobby about anything. Might be worth seeing what he recommends to help generate a short list for you to look into more.

[gazza61]

I have about 4 of these naims dotted around the house not as good as separates but not too bad either.

@Mizmazzle
Honestly, vintage is the way. But that takes time and effort.

Above all else. Love you @goosehd

[goosehd]

Love all of you guys as well…you keep me working
