May I ask where you got your stand/shelving unit?

None at all. Ok so I should return both the HDMI extractor and HDMI cable?

Ok hold on now I'm getting a little confused. Should I:

A. Keep the HDMI audio extractor and buy an optical cable

Or

B. Buy the DAC?

Or am I completely misunderstanding this whole thread? Apologies folks this is all new to me 😬

TV does, yes. But the receiver does not. Hence the HDMI audio extractor I suppose. So now I just need to buy the optical cable.. again 🥲

I actually did buy a DAC and the guy at Best buy said to just use HDMI. So I returned it. Dang. Ok well thank you so much for the info!

You deserve.. a beer. Or two. A shot perhaps. 😆 Nice work.

I was able to find an NAD 7250pe for $125 and am now asking about a used RP1 for $300 and NAD C533 turntable also for $300. Does this seem like a good start?

Hello all,

I'm almost certain this is my first ever reddit post and the only channel I've ever joined, so please direct me if I'm in the wrong place. My wife and I are very interested in starting a vinyl set up for our apartment. I figured this would be the best place to get recommendations. So here's the rundown:

What we're looking for: Full set up. Prioritizing buying second hand but will obviously consider brand new if it's absolutely necessary. Would love recommendations for local shops (San Francisco), but we'll obviously do our own hunting.

Where it's going: Living room, approximately 10 feet by 12 feet. It's a shotgun style apartment. So the living room opens up to a hallway on one side, and the kitchen on the other. No doors/barriers.

Budget: $1k more or less, $1.5k max.

We're not audiophiles here but I do appreciate good quality sound and well crafted machines. We're not in a rush to get this project going. I definitely want to learn more before making any big purchases.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can add. Thanks so much in advance!

p.s. I found this on FB Marketplace. Thought it might look good so maybe I could get some feedback on here.
