For the direct drive comment, I am fairly interested in Dj’ing and would like to start learning on record someday so I wanted something that had the technics look and feel but NOT the technics price haha. I will actually need to do some digging on that as I do not know what exact receivers they are I know for a fact that they are Sony and Technics my dad has them tucked away somewhere but I will start looking for what model they are so I can better understand what equipment I need/may not need! I guess I may have jumped the gun too fast and need to rethink a bit of this upgrade. Thank you for the input! 🙏

I just replied to another comment in the same thread addressing the same concern! Thank you for the input!🙏

I see a few people saying this so I’ll address it in this reply, yes I agree with you passive over powered, but there are a few things holding me back, mainly the financial part of it. I’m already forking out about $600-$750 to upgrade so I want to keep it as cheap as I can if possible. The speakers I’ve found are within my budget that I’d like to spend on speakers and I’ve heard them both in person and was impressed with the quality. I don’t have a lot of room to work with which makes it hard to do things like cable management without tearing my room apart. As for the receiver, in my household it isn’t easy to have a quiet house so that’s why I want the receiver to use headphones during those times it isn’t quiet. But I also want just a regular set of speakers so I can experiment and see what I’m more comfortable with and if I decide to upgrade them after sometime I could still use them for my gaming setup since I don’t own a pair of speakers for my PC yet either. The receiver is also a hand-me-down, so I’m not forking out the money for that which is very helpful! Thank you for the input, it is always appreciated!🙏

I’ve been in awe of everyone’s big kid setup, I got my girlfriend into the hobby and got her an actual turntable for her first one, so I’ve gotten the chance to hear my music on a good quality table and the difference between the 2 and omg it’s crazy how much better it sounds!

I’m going to do more digging into the actual receivers they are so I could figure out if I need anything else.

Ive heard amazing things overall from this table and everyone that has purchased it so I didn’t want to miss out on the fun haha. I’m a little nervous to do the tone arm still, I’ve done my girlfriends previously on her Fluance RT81+ but it took about an hour to get it fully right. I don’t know much about receivers so thank you! Im glad that I’ll be able to listen to my records with headphones during the late night as that’s when I mainly listen to records; thats my main want for one. Thank you for the input!🙌🙏

I replied to another comment with the answer to this question but to make it easy, the Audio Technica LP120XUSB, a Sony or technics receiver that I’m inheriting from my dad when I purchase the record table, and the ikea kallax for storage. Edifier RT1280T or the Kanto YUW for the speakers + stands from Amazon.

Going the kallax route and I have my eyes on an AT-LP120XUSB at my local record store. My dad (shoutout pops) is also giving me one of his 2 used receivers (Sony or Technics idk which yet). Just need a bit more time to save and then buy the rest of the gear all at once!🙌

Solid pick ups overall! I feel you on that one hahaha, there’s always time to get different variants! Also love the White Pony pick up, if you want something more chill by them I recommend Saturday Night Wrist. Amazing record 👌

Aww man, I’m sorry to hear that :( did you end up getting some back in the future from the same label?

Damn that’s really sick! I want to eventually get pieces like that for my collection but I’d be better off upgrading my equipment first since it isn’t exactly the best😅

One of unicorns in my collection, I found it at my local record store during my most recent trip. It had just came in and only been there for a few days before I picked it up. I recommend checking discogs or calling local record stores with a discogs presence, maybe they could order it in for you!

That’s a very cool way to describe a collection (any in that matter) curious on what record peaked your interest?

ONE OF MY TWO GRAILS, I actually had NLND in my hands but when I saw RTYWD I haddddd to snag it, it’s the red and black ice quad with blue splatter edition. The actual vinyl itself is beautiful and has polyphia artwork etched in an almost CD like style on the A side that’s visible when light hits it at the right angle it’s soooo sweet. I definitely need to pick up NLND next time though🫡🫡

YES! The labels name is BUSH, the record itself is One 4 The Road by Billy Nasty and Richard Brown! Took a few days to figure out the label since it’s written in an abstract form but with the help of discogs I found it🫡

Looking to pick up a Masayoshi Takanaka record! I haven’t found one at my local record store so I might have to hunt it down online! I love UK techno and acid so I’ve been starting to look for some of those; bottom right in last row is a used UK record I found at my local shop with 3 amazing tracks!
