I got the RCA record player/speakers combo (mod 70's blue plastic/with stand), for Christmas. 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.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

revolink24 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) On 8/28/2023 at 6:37 PM, Emooze said: I think the first album I bought was Dear Science and the first and only turntable I bought was JP's old Sony PS-X7 This is about as late as a reply can get (what can I say, I don't check in as often as I used to), and this was AGES ago, so I may very well be misremembering, but I think the first turntable I bought was Ari's old PS-X5. 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.)

Pars Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Curious as to what the cabinet is if you can remember. I could use something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2023 by revolink24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
