jase Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Dealing with limited space until me and my fiancee get married but this is it for right now. expedit shelf with an audio technica at-lp120 and a pair of sony bookshelf speakers with a sherwood receiver. Should i look into upgrading my speakers, getting a preamp, or getting a new receiver next? Personally I'd upgrade the turntable first.

jtcohenour Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 We all must start somewhere right? I started out with a similar player and upgraded after about a year. You will notice a huge difference once you get into a quality turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 What speakers are those? Looks nice man. Just a pair of Pioneer FS52s. Definitely a big upgrade from what I used to have before even though they're a budget speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviex2shoes Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Why is your one speaker on the Pro-Ject? Also isn't it a bad idea to have the speakers directly next to the TT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticotico Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 the speakers are small so hes probably not pumping high wattage should be ok dreamwolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwolf Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Why is your one speaker on the Pro-Ject? Just for more space. In case I want to set my laptop down and record the vinyl digitally. Also isn't it a bad idea to have the speakers directly next to the TT? Technically for most yes but like ticotico mentioned they are small speakers + I live in an apartment so I don't blast them. Before set up I took a cup of water, placed it on the turntable and cranked the speakers to see any vibrations. The threshold before noticeable vibration in my case is 3/4 up. I have to give credit to the foam underneath both the speakers and the turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Suits Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The infamous Audio Technica AT-LP60. I feel ya. I just have recently upgraded. Despite what everyone says... I always kind of liked mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlez Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I feel ya. I just have recently upgraded. Despite what everyone says... I always kind of liked mine. I bought it before finding this forum haha...should have made some research first. But it was all I could afford at the moment anyways, and it's doing it's job pretty well. I'll probably upgrade as well when the time comes! Man Suits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlez Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 what exactly is so bad about it? I guess the main thing is you can't adjust the counterweight on the tonearm. I read around here that some LP60 models start to skip because of this. Also because it is belt driven, which wears with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearchuck Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Sony STR-6055? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danementzer Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 You are correct. It is currently not in use, though. My Yamaha cr-640 is currently my main rig. I really love it's natural sound. I also have a MCS that I'm restoring. The Sony may be for sale soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 6065 and I love it ... although it has currently been moved to my 2nd system in favor of my Luxman L-80V. Eventually I'll buy a new, modern amp + preamp, move the Luxman to the 2nd system and most likely sell the Sony. But whoever gets it will be very happy with its performance. I would pick that Sony over comparable entries from Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
