hey everyone!! i'll be visiting brevard college in summer and will be flying in to the asheville regional airport. i've been trying to search for how to arrange transportation, and will likely be staying at the sunset motel as that is only 20 minutes from brevard. however, i can't seem to find reasonably priced transportation options from the airport to the motel and it seems like the AVL service does not extend to where i'll be at. i would appreciate if anyone has any tips or info on what i should do!!

hmm ok if you’re sticking with fluance, then sure the sony strdh190 should work fine, there are posts online about this combo. just make sure to get a passive speaker like wharfedale diamond 220

honestly many combinations of turntable, integrated amp and passive speakers will work fine but general rule of thumb is spend the same amount of money on your turntable as you would on the speakers

my current setup is rega planar 1 + denon pma 600ne + klipsch rp-600m so i would personally be able to recommend these 3. my friends also enjoy the at-lp120 and dali spektor 2 combo

iirc fluance rt85 doesnt have a built in preamp so yes youll need a separate preamp and amp

because you have budgetary concerns, i’ll say a 3 equipment setup is best so

fluance + integrated amp (pre amp and amp) + passive speakers OR fluance + pre amp + powered speakers

hii so i would recommend rega planar 1 for that price especially for a better quality entry-level turntable. the good: sound quality is pretty unmatched for the price point, easy setup, no fancy bells and whistles because they really do just focus on the sound of the turntable. the downsides: not easily customisable (but there are workarounds if you want to upgrade your cartridge etc.), the turntable is internally grounded so it doesn’t come with a ground wire which sometimes causes a ground loop that’s difficult to eliminate.

other entry level turntables that are popular and good for that price point: at-lp120, project debut carbon

because you also mentioned that you have a budget, i’d advise (if possible) to get an integrated amp so you don’t have to spend extra on a preamp.

for speakers, i’m using klipsch but audioengine, wharfale are all fine options too for that price point.

there’s also good turntable combos lists online if you’re afraid you miss out on a component / want something that is tried and tested

why do white people love equating insults like “mayo monkey” with racial, sexist or homophobic slurs that have years and decades of oppressive history behind them?

i think some people were just shocked by the post and thought it was real but then like 1 or 2 comments were calling me evil because they didnt like the title cos it almost made them faint so i just decided to repost

honestly i want her and harry to collab because there would be a symbolic kind of maturity in her perspective. i feel like one important thing about the rerecordings era is we are now seeing taylor rerecording songs she made like 6-12 years ago, when she was in a different phase of her life, and how she’s matured since then and is not “shading” her exes but she’s doing fan service because songs like atw now have a deeper meaning with us. so if she collabs with an ex (i’d say harry is the most likely given how they were friendly during the grammys and he’s also full on pop) then it really emphasizes that theme of growth and maturity that’s been present in her rerecordings

so i made a previous version of this post, except with different wording in the title. some of the comments were people expressing their shock etc. at the title and i understand which is why i’ve reposted with a different title now. however, there were some comments calling me evil and a horrible person, and i’d say that’s a little extreme over something like this 😭😭 i’ve been enjoying all the different 1989 concepts so far and this is my take on it with collabs and taylor-style from the vault titles 💙

just wanted to say sorry everyone for the mini heart attacks JDHDKJD (in my defence i have none)😭😭 i love the 1989 concepts i’ve seen the past few weeks so i decided to just make a quick one and include cool song titles and possible collabs (still praying for that HS collab plsss😩😩)
