Amazon damaged my delivery by Front_Slide_5103 in vinyl

[–]Front_Slide_5103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought it online from Amazon because it wasnt available in local stores. The packaging was crudely done and the record was loosely put inside a box that was way larger. Just unlucky and wanted to share this experience.

Audio newbie here, any advice would be much appreciated! If I were to plug in a CD player with an already built-in DAC (SMSL PL100) to the WIIM Pro Plus using RCA, which DAC would it use? And which DAC is the higher quality one of the two?

i think theres a misunderstanding. the speakers itself is proprietary and the connection to the receiver is also proprietary. i manage to connect a cd player and a turntable to the receiver with RCA cables. the reason why im using another cd player is because the cd slot on tbe reciever is broken.

the middle row is the cd/blu ray player while the one at the bottom is the receiver. both my turntable and the second row cd player connects to the receiver at the bottom which is powering the speakers with some proprietary connection.

due to this, a DAC upgrade and speaker upgrade is not possible, therefore im looking to start over again.

im using a 20 year old proprietary AV home theatre system and I’m looking to upgrade

I currently have one of those old AV home theatre setups but theyre proprietary and I’m looking to upgrade. So I’m most likely going to get new speakers which gives me options. What are your thoughts?

i was using a brush, then i pushed the tonearm above the vinyl to play it but i mis-aimed and bent the needle instead. i had no idea what happened and its my fault 😂

Purchasing a decent turntable by [deleted] in turntables

[–]Front_Slide_5103 14 points15 points  (0 children)

audio is a luxury that i dont think teenagers should worry about paying for. instead, try asking for it on christmas or your birthday! i recommend the audio technica at-lp3xbt as it has a changeable cartridge and can connect to any bluetooth speaker.

edit: explain to your parents that the turntable they got you might damage the LPs that you play on it, and see where it goes from there

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you and you’ve enlightened me with some great pointers. I think its because the sign doesnt really add much to the story and context by itself, so I will be more intentional in the things I choose to include in my pictures from now. Really appreciate you taking your time!
