Yes I know Record High. Sold a bunch of my records to them. I just bought a pair of DBX soundfield v's for $10 I'll use until I can save for something better

Im in arizona Phoenix west valley and craigslist is just flooded with tons of speakers not quite sure on which route to take. My set up is in a fairly large room. Tiled. 

Curious though are the polk Monitor 60's good speakers? I can pick up a second one for only $100 making it only $120 i paid for the pair. or should I find something else for that price range?

Yes I have the ground wired. and thank you didnt realize it was affecting it that bad. Ill change that right away. 

So last year i started a new job and the owner had a turntable and played records daily. After less then a week I was hooked and wanted to start a vinyl collection and have a nice setup. Now I'm far from being able to afford a $1000 setup or even a $500 setup. Im all about being patient and looking for the best deals which is what I did. My boss bought 2 vintage receivers and gave me one for free a Kenwood KR-3600 I was excited I love the vintage look. So I wanted to get a vintage turntable. Craigslist everything was $100+ and I didnt really have it. Well one day I was talking to a guy at an auction and told him i was looking for vinyl he tells me he will sell a collection a guy gave him along with a turntable for $60 I bought it right away. It was a Toshiba SR-255 Love the look. Also at the auction I managed to pick up an Polk Audio Monitor 60 for only $20. The Toshiba had no headshell so had to order it and the stylus off amazon Audio-Technica Universal Headshell (AT-HS1) and Audio-Technica Dual Magnet Phono Cartridge (AT95E).

 

Im just wondering how decent my set up is. and what to improve first and with what.

I do get some humming when i have both left and right plugged into the receiver from the turntable. I do have the ground plugged in. I've tried reading the forums but I get confused pretty easy when I cant ask the questions from the beginning. Here are a couple pics as well
