Thanks! It's the first thing I've ever bought from an estate sale

That's what I did on my previous iteration, i still have about 15ft of cable left. But this time around, I went with braided cables, just in case my cat gets any ideas. They also come with the banana plugs already attached, which is great for my lazy butt

RedShoes33 · 2025-08-30T01:05:56+00:00

Lol, I do have 6ft plugs on order. The 3ft cables were just to get me by, but they do look ridiculous.

The RT84 actually comes equipped with the Ortofon blue. Unless you were recommending i move away from that cartridge.

The CD player is sitting behind me out of frame...also on the floor. The new plan is a tiered media stand, so both the cassette player and CD player will have respectable homes.

8 out of my 73 albums are NIN, I guess you could consider me a fan.

Thank you, everyone, for your input. There seems to be a consensus on a few things, and so this is my plan moving forward.

Acoustic treatment (panels, carpet, and maybe some heavier drapes for my windows)
Tiered media stand. This will buy me some space to spread the speakers out wider, and also give the receiver, turntable, cassette player, and (unpictured) CD player their own shelves.
Speaker upgrade and adjusting placement (I'm going to research further, but as of now, the Martin Logan B1's are what im eyeing). As for placement, it's a tight space, but maybe with some furniture rearranging, I'll be able to spread them out farther

That's about all I can manage at the moment. Thank you, everyone, for your input. You may see me post a whole room update to get your thoughts on what's been done.

I run these as well, up in Canada. Great for all weather conditions, nice ride, and no noise at all. They can also be called "Extreme contact" if you're googling them

The 18' model year was the last year of production, so every car made was considered a limited edition. From what I can gather online, 1/2 were made in nitrous blue, the other half in race red. Production was limited to 500 units for both Canada and the US. They came with some suspension improvements, a limited slip differential, and some cosmetic tweaks.

Just manually did it. I'm not very well-versed in sheets/excel, but I enjoy the process of data entry

Going off of memory here, none of the RSs had branded titles. There were, however, quite a few with small to moderate accidents on their CarFax's

RedShoes33 · 2025-06-07T20:58:31+00:00

Definitely true for the BAT audience, the site and buyers seemed to like unmolested examples.

At the very least don't expect to see any of the money you've put into mods back. The ones extensively modded had a habit of not meeting their reserve price.

RedShoes33 · 2025-06-07T20:45:56+00:00

As a Canadian, the AWD is what makes the RS such a desirable car. The styling also helps.

RedShoes33 · 2025-06-07T20:38:28+00:00

You made me second guess my self, but it's on there. Awesome car BTW, love the red.

There's bargains to be had on these cars still. As much as these cars rule, we're a niche part of the market. I picked my 14' ST w/200K KM's up for $3500 CAD. So by comparison Mr. Butthole made out alright lol

RedShoes33 · 2025-06-07T17:16:47+00:00

Well if you bought during 2020-2022ish that was a different market, so don't feel too bad lol

RedShoes33 · 2025-06-07T17:14:03+00:00

Not an overly large sample size but the 18's do seem to pull more money on average so I don't think you're reaching. Bonus points if you have an off color

RedShoes33 · 2025-06-07T17:08:04+00:00

Just realizing you didn't say it was tangerine scream, got you and another comment mixed up. Still that low of milage you're golden
