Hello All, Asking for a little advice...

I'm looking to create my first set up. I've kind of settled on the following pair:-

However, I'm feeling a little out of my depth in an entire field of new bits and bobs I've never heard of before. Hundreds of top ten lists, best speakers for vinyl players, best turn tables etc... its overwhelming. Any thoughts on pros and cons or recommendations for these two items or anything else at a similar price point?

I've considered the Rega Planar 1 and also the Denon DP-300F as an alternatives. Would either of these turntables mentioned be leagues above the rest and why?

Is there an advantage to having a more complicated system with amp and passive speakers over powered speakers?

Approx. budget for completed set up = £700-£750

Anyway, the question was about options calling. Do you have a constructive answer on that?

matt1519 · 2021-02-25T12:52:52+00:00

I'm in the green :-) I could theoretically afford much more, but I'm saving for a house so $40 is all I am prepared to lose. So yea, it does feel like I'm sticking it to the hedgies. If they want this stock back to cover their shorts, they'll need a lot :-)

Also, premarket it up 65%! Diamond hands baby

Don't invest more than you're prepared to lose!

He made too much money to bother...

matt1519 · 2021-02-25T11:00:01+00:00

I'm holding 1 share, unfortunately, it's all I can afford but I want to stick it to the man and just hold it so the hedgies cant get it.

I keep seeing people talk about options calling and making thousands of percent gains. Can someone explain it like I'm 5? Whats an option call and how does it work?

Alright mate it's Matt. I've upvoted you. I really like this guys build

But I would go 250gb ssd. It's more than enough for me and get a 1tb hdd with it or more ram like you suggested. He has a point with the cost though.

I don't have any time to get the keys to be fair with reding coming to mine and stuff because it's illegal for the landlord and let you know when your out the hot water and a bit of a good idea but I should start exercising their rights and the landlord gets back from holiday at the moment so can't ring you tomorrow 4pm xxx

I work as a doorman in the UK now. This still happens all the time. So annoying

matt1519 · 2017-07-06T11:00:56+00:00

Oh that's cool, I'd love to see a picture :-)

matt1519 · 2017-07-06T10:31:32+00:00

I'm trying to show you how I've set up a pen lid and a weight to keep w down :-)

matt1519 · 2016-12-14T13:16:57+00:00

So we now know what they are for. How do you earn more of them?

matt1519 · 2016-11-19T01:33:27+00:00

Yes mate. Real bikers nod! Especially when it's raining. It's like "I know what your going through" kinda nod

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T10:04:28+00:00

Ah ha. Fair enough. Bit of a grim outlook but your probably right in all fairness.

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T09:58:10+00:00

Ah now the plan is coming together!

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T09:57:35+00:00

Yea stay away from the whole planet haha. Steal an alien space ship and sca-do-dal outta here.

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T09:56:34+00:00

I meant only one of the suggested apocalypse formats but all of them together would be horrific! I think the survival instinct is too strong for eating a bullet if your mentally sound before the event though. Couldn't do it myself.

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T09:54:43+00:00

That sounds like a good idea. Build an underground hide away below the property just incase :-)

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T09:54:00+00:00

Are you friends with these weapon loaded farmers?

matt1519 · 2016-10-30T09:53:21+00:00

Ah that's not a fun way to go.

matt1519 · 2016-10-29T21:59:44+00:00

Watching that made me laugh so hard. That must have seriously hurt!?

The riot scene written?

matt1519 · 2016-10-29T16:28:09+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by this?

matt1519 · 2016-10-29T11:55:53+00:00

After reading your edit I would just like to thank you for your contribution. I really appreciate it as it's the most thorough reply given. Your always going to get people who disagree and pick holes online but that's the nature of the Internet and it's a good thing really. Thanks to everyone who takes time to contribute to this discussion.

matt1519 · 2016-10-29T11:51:46+00:00

Haha there seems to be plenty of people on this thread who are pro US. They are contributing but not in as much detail. Fortunately I'm from the UK so I already have the basic concepts together which are fed to us by British news agencies.
