elcampesino Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I like this better how you have it instead of having it stand up tall ways like the picture at ikea. Would you recommend this unit after putting it up and seeing it in use? Highly. Everyone else suggested it so I went to grab one. Super sturdy. Cheap for the build. Easy to assemble. Light to move. 10/10 on the expedit. I like the gloss red too. But the matte finishes are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aych Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The plinth of your turntable looks plastic with lots of electronic parts inside. Placing your speakers on the expedit with your turntable will surely reduce the quality of your output. Oh, that's not my picture. I have a Pro-Ject Debut III. Not sure if that affects your statement, but I thought I'd just get that out there. I probably could have specified that in my original post.

alogical Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 New boxes! where'd ya get those 7" boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yeah I am using the 5.1. Im probably going to spread out the speakers tonight when im out of work. You'd be surprised but I have little room on the sides of the expedit. I might just go only dual chanel and have the sub on as well, since I don't really use that unit for anything else than listen to music. Any suggestions? I love 2 channel audio. I listen to all my movies as 2 channel with no sub, but I have speakers that handle low end really well. Your receiver may have a 2.1 setting. Really makes you wonder what model Crosley he has plugged into his powered computer speakers, doesn't it? I think he posted a photo, at least of his TT, a little while back. I laughed really hard at this. Have you every posted a picture of your set up? I'd really like to see it. I have somewhere but I'd have to look. My avatar kind of shows my set up.

bobfrombob Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'd make sure you cut some ventilation holes in the back for the NAD... If you haven't already Yeah, there's a vent hole and a fan. It actually doesn't get that hot but it's there just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbruise Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Might want to get those speakers off the carpet, static can fuzz up the sound. Also, the blurry glass on that cabinet will distort highs. nothingnatural, withengineheart and ronniegwilliams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hahaha nice. Also, those speakers are on spikes so not worries there. bigbruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboydh Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If anybody on here lives near me (Alabama) I'm moving in about 2 months and getting rid of the cabinets I have my records in now. Anybody interested can have them for free. EDIT: I won't be ready to give em up til about mid March. I'll post pics here in a bit if anybody is interested.

museummouth Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Quick question about storage... My records are stored in a bookcase, vertically.They're somewhat tight, but not too tight. I see in a lot of pictures that people have theirs leaning some what. Is that better, or does it cause shelf wear/ ring wear, compared to vertically. I've just been trying to find the perfect storage set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minor incident Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Quick question about storage... My records are stored in a bookcase, vertically.They're somewhat tight, but not too tight. I see in a lot of pictures that people have theirs leaning some what. Is that better, or does it cause shelf wear/ ring wear, compared to vertically. I've just been trying to find the perfect storage set up. Ideally, you want them packed tightly enough that they are perfectly vertical, not leaning (to prevent warping/bending), but loose enough that they aren't pressing horrible ringwear into all the covers. My rule of thumb is that I should be able to easily pull out or push in a record without the ones around it sliding along with it. When I don't have a shelf full enough, I stick a shoebox or something in as a "bookend" if needed. museummouth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
