I want to believe the whole “Ancient Aliens” concept and am very open-minded on the subject… but still a skeptic.

I do like to hear alternative views and opinions.

I have a healthy appreciation for beer in all it’s forms. It is the perfect beverage!

...combined purchase of the Audio Technica LP120 turntable and Edifier R120T bookshelf speakers, so I went for that. Both products seemed to be favorably reviewed. I haven't experimented with them too much, as I don't really trust myself, but so far, everything with a guitar or bass sounds extremely distorted, even at low volumes... ...Any idea what might be going on here?

Do you have the red-and-white RCA cables from the turntable plugged in to the AUX jacks or the PC jacks on back of the right speaker?

I'm thinking you need to be using the AUX jacks.
