I was 10, and the two records I got with it were Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii and The Chipmunks. Those are still very good! I was lucky to have two older brothers into music. One was ~4.5 years older, and I got a lot of early taste from him (classic and country rock, and prog). But over time we 3 boys each found our own niche for musical tastes....

I too had two older brothers, and wanted something more adult, but my Father thought that I was still a little kid. I did listen to the Elvis album a lot though. And I think my next album was Three Dog Night: Golden Biscuits. Easy there Brent! Which my oldest Brother bought for me. Edited August 29, 20232 yr by swt61
September 1, 20232 yr That always sounds like Brent's erectile disfunction. Oh, and still not conflicted.

Vintage Sony PS-X turntables seem to be made for the head-case crowd. Too bad they are a reliability nightmare (specifically with the auto functions) but boy, they sure sounded good. I actually just replaced my rig after a brief love affair with my vinyl collection, where I remembered that I liked the activity but wasn't completely happy with my setup. Now rocking the lovely but much more trouble-free Technics SL-100C with a VM95SH into some KEFs in my living room setup. I'm sure it can get better than this but it's hard to imagine by much. Sure my high-res digital sources still probably sound better, but I still dig the romance of spinning bumpy plastic. And it's fun to spin vinyl at a party over my multi-room audio setup even if streaming vinyl over Wi-Fi feels wrong. Oh, and yeah, where some may have speaker stands, I have cat trees. The price of having pets. (P.S. back to the topic at hand, being a relative young'un, my first record was Arcade Fire's Funeral. I will accept your judgment.)

December 8, 20232 yr Curious as to what the cabinet is if you can remember. I could use something like that.
December 8, 20232 yr Some Auralex or similar foam speaker risers could be good for this setup. It would be good for the KEFs generally and also to separate all three speakers from the surface to minimize vibration on the turntable.

Actually already ordered some, though it hasn’t been so much of a problem yet. There are decent enough isolation feet on the table, and the cabinet weighs hundreds of pounds, so it's pretty tough to shake it much, especially since I’m using a sub. Realistically I know at some point that I should get a separate stand for the TT. That said, speaking of the old PS-X tables I haven’t found anything with feet as good as the gel feet that Sony used to use. 16 hours ago, Pars said: Curious as to what the cabinet is if you can remember.

I’ll warn you it isn’t cheap 😬 furniture prices went wild since I bought this. https://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/storage-and-entryway/media-cabinets/hudson-media-cabinets-with-wood-base Edited December 8, 20232 yr by revolink24
