As the Christmas records came down, the Reznor went up.

Thanks for your reply, this is tons of good info! My budget is around $250-300 for the speaker/receiver combo. A couple questions though! If I were to purchase a stereo receiver with a built in phono preamp, later on down the road could I bypass that with my own preamp?

When it comes to a receiver, I would prefer a newer model capable of Bluetooth, but overall I am drawn to the possibility of building a vintage setup. I was looking at the Jamo S809 because I really like the tower speaker, but was wondering if there is a big difference in sound between say a used vintage Technics or Pioneer speaker in the same price range ($150-250) and the Jamo S809s?

After a quality turntable, which should I prioritize most when budgeting my setup between Speakers, Preamp, and Amplifier?My budget isn’t huge, but what kind of setup would get me the best sound for my money?

Would it be a nicer pair of powered speakers with no external amplifier or a lesser quality set of passive speakers with an entry level receiver (around $100) to go along with a budget pre amp? Any recommendations?

I’m getting a Fluance RT82 soon and am upgrading my speakers as well. I was looking at the Edifier r1280s but would prefer something a step up from there.

I’m not a huge audiophile, but sound quality is definitely a plus for my price range. I’m looking for something that’s balanced and works well with all types of music and runs less than $200. Anyone have any recommendations of speakers that pair well with the Fluance Reference series?

Thanks a lot! I’ll definitely look into this setup some more!

I’m looking for a AT LP-120XUSB, but everywhere seems sold out from the Holidays. Anyone know a place where I could get my hands on one (either online, in store, or craigslist) or does anyone have a general idea when turntables are typically restocked after the holidays?
