My new setup
« on: June 01, 2010, 09:41:15 PM »
Here is some pictures of my new power amp, pre-amp, and the finished turntable. The power amp is a Onkyo M-5000 rated at 105 WPC @ 8 OHMs. The pre-amp is a Onkyo P-3200. The turntable is a Sansui FR-D3. My speakers are Pioneer CS-R500s. I will post a pic of them in a Reply. First picture is of the Power amp. Second picture is of the Pre-amp. Third picture is of the Turntable. Please tell me what you think.

I think I saw that amp on the craigs list. Cool looks. Give us some detail on how it sounds!
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

It sure seems like it Kingman. It is definitely a upgrade from my Yamaha.

Nice set up Mikey, and it does sound very good. But, Remember what I always tell you. I will reward your good grades and behavior. And I will kick your ass for bad behavior. I will be looking very closely at your report card next week!!!!!

But I know your report card will be excellent as always. That is why I gave it to you now.

Loves ya buddy
