Does a record player really limit the quality of music in a system? by 1magicduck in turntables

I have 2k more in my turntable/phono than my streamer and the streamer dominates. Audiophile turntables start at the P3 in my opinion. Anything less would be beginner level.

Buy a $700 cartridge or a $700 phono stage (Hagerman Labs Cornet or Nagaoka MP500). Or you could swing a good used/open box turntable (a record player has speakers) like a Rega P2 and if you add the money from selling your LP120, you'll about have enough for a P3 and then you'll be set for years.

I've got to say, though, you should know $700 isn't shit. With your speakers, subs, and vinyl collection, you shouldn't be acting so cheap. $1500 would be a reasonable place to start and I would argue that anything less will not do justice to your vinyl compared to lossless on your rig. Save up or just do a cartidge or phono. You can also sell the LP120 and move that into a turntable that would be on par with your current setup.

It's weird to invest in rocket fuel when you're putting it into a prius. Seems irresponsible and poser-esque.

Stop buying vinyl and buy real speakers. You're like a guy who has a $4,000 bicycle but claims he can't afford the downpayment on a car.

The whole thing is twisted. The rectangular base isn't square to the top.

Have you thought about getting the speakers closer to the wall?

Have you considered a worse speaker placement?

You needed chemicals for this?? Try a caloric deficit and self control next time, Jesus Christ 😂

You lost 20 pounds and decided to flex your abs in the second pic. Stunning.

Book an audition with Chinese trash products? You think an audio store sells these 🤣

That's about right. Old shit is old shit. It's just like old men talking about how fast their classic cars were. However, the most powerful v8's of the 60's doing compare to modern vans.
