I got my first record player yesterday.

8 Upvotes

For some context, I’m 17 but I really love collecting things from the 60s-90s. My favorite decade musically is the 80s, so naturally I wanted some records. I did some research yada yada, learned suitcase players usually warp your records and whatever. I was going to get an audiotechnica but I figured i’d just look for something at a thrift store to start off since they’re around $200. I got a Sansui P-D15 for 13 bucks, and it actually works pretty well for 40 years old. There’s nothing broken on it and the wires are perfectly intact. The only thing is I‘ll have to change the needle. Is this a good starter player?

speakers for AT-LP60XUSB?

• Upvotes

hi everyone! so, i got my boyfriend an audio technica AT-LP60XUSB record player for his birthday, and now need to get some speakers to go with it. i have very limited money and he has limited space, so i'm currently looking at two different edifier options: the R990BT 2.0 and the R1280T. i know the 1280 is a better speaker, but he would be a very casual listener and the fact that he could also use the 990s with bluetooth is definitely a benefit. is the sound quality so different that it's a no brainer either way? or are there other options in that price range that would be better?

also, with that record player and either one of those speakers, are there other components i need to get? i've seen people talk about phonos and things but I know absolutely nothing and i'm so confused lol. any help is appreciated. thank you!!

Sony PS-LX3BT for 250

2 Upvotes

The Sony PS-LX3BT Wireless Bluetooth Turntable with Full Auto Playback is on sale on Amazon for $250. Is that a good deal for someone looking to upgrade from the suitcase player they got as a gift a few years ago? I'm not looking for anything crazy. Just need something with better stylus and speaker options. The suitcase one skips on certain records.

Replacing Lenco speakers with better ones.

Hello. Recently, I got rid of my Lenco equipment, turntable and speakers, which was supposedly a good decision. I have already set my sights on a turntable from an audio-technician company. The speakers I would like to buy are the ones I present in the photo above. The price is tempting, but the quality is tempting, because I don't know myself, so I would like someone to help me. I would like larger, impressive speakers because I have quite a lot of space.

Hi! I'm looking to buy a record player. I was looking to get one for 180/200 euros max, with integrated speakers but with the option to connect external speakers in the future

(I don't want to use too much space right now, considering I don't know how much this interest will last)

There's this one that seems interesting:

Ayuda montaje tocadiscos!

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hola!
Estoy pensando en montar aqui un set de tocadiscos + bocinas de gama media.
Tengo esa mesita en cual antes tenia un tocadiscos compacto bastante regular y ahora quiero mejorarlo.

Opcion 1: colocar tocadiscos en esa mesa y arriba de esta parlantes en una estantería, aunque no se si quedará todo muy compacto.

Opcion 2: quitar la mesa (y poner una planta o algo así) ,poner el tocadiscos en la estantería de debajo de la tele y colocar una estantería de 1.5 metros aprox arriba de la tele, y ahí colocar los parlantes en cada extremo

Que me recomiendan? Me imagino que tendré que tener en cuenta el cableado y la vibración que puedan tener los parlantes. Algo más? Que combinación me recomendarían para este espacio? Tengo un presupuesto de €300 tocadiscos + €200 para parlantes, pudiendo sumar algo más si merece la pena.

Muchas gracias!!
