Hello everyone
« on: September 03, 2010, 03:02:15 AM »
I'm new to the forums.  Just stopped in the shop a couple times over the past week and picked up a new turntable, it seemed like a cool place.

Anyway, figured I'd post my current setup.  I'd love to hear any suggestions for the best (and ideally least expensive!) ways to upgrade my current setup.

JVC RX-D302 7.1 home theater receiver
Sony CDP-C335 5 disc changer
Sanyo Direct Drive TP 1012A turntable with Shure M97e cartridge running through a Behringer PP400 preamp
Bose 301 bookshelf speakers

Howdy.... Suggestions? First thing I would do is sell the bose speakers and pick up something better.
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

I'm from the North Hills, live about 10 minutes from the shop.  As far as my music tastes go, I'm mostly into newer indie/alternative, but I also enjoy a lot of classic rock.  You can check out my last.fm if you're interested in what I listen to: http://www.last.fm/user/leb857

My condolences on finding this glorious bunch of audio misfits.  Be careful, you will get sucked in and "least expensive" will take on a whole new meaning. :o
When I die I hope my wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it.
