Joytron Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I inherited record player and sound system and am overwhelmed with where I should start to upgrade. My current set up is a AT pl50, tc 750 preamp, connected to a DVD player with Philips hts 32 5.1 speakers. I understand a sound system is only as good as its weakest point so is it worth upgrading a piece at a time? Is the pre-amp worth keeping and if so should I just look at turntables without an existing preamp? I am not sure how often the tt was used so would getting a new cartridge make sense or should I just get a new table? For reference I'm listening in a medium sized bedroom and am leaning towards starting with new speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The DVD player/5.1 speaker combo has to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenh Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 keep the TC750 for now and have a good read of the beginners section, the rest sell on and put the money toward something better. There are a lot of pages with a lot of repetition questions wise but there is also a lot of good knowledge and advice in there and it will answer a lot if not all of the questions you have plus some of the ones you are going to think up once you've had a bit of a read.
