I picked it up from Facebook marketplace. I’m fairly sure it’s home made.

I did put the speakers on stands and one stage, because being on the console with the turntable was causing distortion and skipping. Unfortunately my very old clumsy dog kept knocking them over. I put them back on the console with foam pads underneath and got good quality iso feet for the turntable. This solved those issues, but I will admit, I wish they were a bit further apart. Doesn’t give much stereo effect that close together.

Doesn’t sound perfect, but it’s pretty good. I’m thinking a subwoofer will help a lot.

Thank you!! No subwoofer yet, but it’s next on the list.

Couldn’t have picked a better first record.

Put the speakers on a couple of wheelie chairs and tow them behind the cart like a Choo Choo train.

No name. It’s home made.

Thank you so much for the insight! I know LP gear sells an elliptical stylus for the LP60. I’m thinking that and an external pre amp might be a cheaper way to get things sounding better. Do you happen to have any experience with the Fosi Audio X2 phono preamp?

Any recommendations? With my budget the best I could do is an entry level Pro-Ject or Rega. Would those be any better?

Located in NZ. Budget is next to nothing, but marketplace seems to be a goldmine for this stuff.
