      completely agree!

      I've learned so much more about music from roon and found things I'd never in a million years if I had to go to a record shop but I still enjoy the simplicity of vinyl when I go to a friend's place to listen on occasion.

        @Mizmazzle It sounds mysterious. I found some stuff back visiting Worthing but when you say vintage, that will be surely older than those. Please share us your experience. ☺️

          @oblivion-sila I will man. I just hope to god I don’t end up spending 10k on a McIntosh tube amp haha. They have so much amazing shit at this store. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t have 10k at the moment haha

            @Mizmazzle Mac makes great stuff, but I'd highly recommend going the DIY route if you're at all interested in tube stuff on a budget. Bottlehead makes great kits if you arent otherwised electrically inclined that are easy to follow and they sound fantastic.

              @Mizmazzle very clean set up. The warmth of a Marantz is so kind to the ears & soul. Here's my set up:
              receiver: Marantz 2275
              table: Marantz 6100
              speakers: Dahlquist DQ-20s (if you're in the Portland, OR area I'm selling these - my wife is over how big they are...lame!!...holler at me and I'll give you a hell of a deal. they sound amazing, drink power and were just refurbishedIMG_7192.jpg IMG_7193.jpg 167f1b15-9bde-4c5f-80dc-e3dc07c05009.JPG )

                @pechelman thanks for the info! I’m def wanting to move into a tube set up next. Would be sweet to build my own! Sounds like a fun project! And it doesn’t cost $10k

                            @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 😁.

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

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

                                    @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.

                                        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 …
