Title: Hello everyone
Post by: JLeb 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

Post by: JLeb on September 03, 2010, 03:04:53 PM: 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.

Thanks for the advice! What kind of speakers would you recommend instead, and why?

Post by: Slim-Shaddy on September 13, 2010, 05:19:00 PM: Here's a good article illustrating how bose doesn't strive for any kind of audio perfection. There are a ton of speakers I would recommend over the bose. If you are actively looking, what kind of price are you looking at?
