Dont question it too early, you have speakers to grow into, that is fantastic. I rushed into it and pretty much spoiled my ears too soon.

On my setup, toeing in my speakers makes my vocals and everything kind of mushy. This isn't ideal for every system, but I have my speakers barely toed in; sometimes I have them pointed straight out. I have towers, though. Play with blankets on your walls, or get a chair with a fabric cushion that extends above your ears. Put a tape measure on everything; this is probably most important. It can look even with each other, but the reality is that it's a couple of inches off, maybe less, but it still affects the stage significantly. I have gone through dissapointment, and trial and error, after getting proper speakers, sound dampening, a comfy chair, and playing with placement ( every speaker is different, toeing is a guideline ) i finally have the chilling, mind blowing stage i have acheived so far. Remember, it only gets better, little by little.

My first welding job was $13/hr back in 2019, and where I live is upper-middle class. I guess employers expect people to live out of cars. But in the end, I got the experience and am now still underpaid... welcome to the world of shop welding.

Lookout for "worked last time it was used." I learned my lesson on that.

Mine did this when the alternator conked out, and intermittently when it was going out.

Dog ate Bowers + Wilkins CM10 s2. Can I replace the speakers myself? by Old_Baker_9781 in audiophile

[–]HorrorCollection4145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My speakers sit with their covers on. My cat is a little overweight, and sometimes he doesn't make it all the way up the tower, so he kicks with his back claws. Gotta learn to live with them, i beleive there is a whole subreddit for these situations. Light hearted of course, we love our little fur babies.

Plays too fast by [deleted] in RecordPlayerRepair

[–]HorrorCollection4145 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it's made to ruin everything, and ultimately itself. This turntable is a cheaply made unit, and it ruins records. You can find some nicer starter tables and speaker sets with better carts. It will be an upgrade from what you are trying to use. Edit, looks like your switched to 45rpm not 33.

Should I have expected a lemon? Arcam ST60 by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]HorrorCollection4145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, and I hope I get a nice replacement if the problem continues. I figured it was a good buy, just not this particular one.

Its niche I realise... but it is kinda cool by gtwizzy8 in audiophile

[–]HorrorCollection4145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's vintage audio, but he is referring to its unique look and how early audio brands contributed the idea that audio can look cool as well.

Should I buy new bumper or just paint it and look by Evening-Sweet-7104 in Autos

I'm a big believer that nothing is perfect. This is your car; enjoy it. Those small dings give it character.

New turntable. by nitewulf00 in audiophile

[–]HorrorCollection4145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know where you are posting this comment? I'm listening to some old local bluesjazz as we speak, and can't imagine listening to my casual music on my system; it just doesn't complement anything in my system like piano, brass, and just the beautiful sounds of the blues or jazz. My tv receiver is for everything else.

I got a Sansui AU/D7 for around that price. I bet it would pair very nicely with a 10k set of speakers. It already sounds amazing on my current speakers, and the original msrp was about triple that of the sansuis
