I got a simple player, Jensen Jta230. I did not buy it, was an accidental gift - a trophy.
But, I have been using it for few years and got into a vinyl listening habit and am loving it
So, looking for advice on upgrade.
- Would i really experience an upgrade if i buy a $300-$400 player...

Hello!
I'm building my first proper HiFi system - I'm trying to go for a vintage aesthetic with a slightly warm sound.
I've acquired a beautiful vintage Pioneer SA-510 amp which will be at the centre of the setup. I've gone for a modern Yamaha CDS-300 CD player because I couldn't turn it down...
This simple bedroom system mostly plays news in the morning and music before bed:
ADS L710 speakers (on A&M Fabrication stands)
Dayton APA-150 power amp
Kenwood C2 preamp
McIntosh MR500 tuner
The 6-ohm ADS speakers play very nicely with the little Dayton amp: lively sound, plenty of volume...
Hi, I am new here and although I have read the forums this is my first post. I have wanted to put together a vintage system for years and am finally gonna do it. I purchased my speakers already. A pair of ESS AMTa’s. Now I am trying to decide on the tuner/amp. I can’t afford to buy several but...
Ever since I was a teenager I've had some form of stereo system in my living space. Like many of us, I've tried many iterations of equipment — so I'm happy to say that my current systems are the most musically satisfying I've ever had.
Within the last decade I've also dabbled with surround...
One of my favorite nerd-like hobbies is watching videos of stereo systems on YouTube. While doing so last night, I came across the following:
...and instantly wanted to race to Amazon/eBay so as to purchase said album. If anyone happens to know the artist and song title featured in the...
Hi all,
I'm putting together three systems out of the list of gear below. Any suggestions on what would match best and what to leave out? I'm currently running the Sansui, the Technics SL-1600 and the JBL L100s as my main system in my living room and I'm happy with that setup. Other two systems...
This is a pic of the entire system. In the middle is my Sharp 65" Smart HDTV used as monitor. What wasn't shown in the other picture of the rack, is my Dell M6800 workstation computer which is now sitting on top of the rack. The computer is used to stream FLAC'S to my Yamaha NP-S2000 Media Player.
Thanks to all of you and this forum, ever since I got into vintage stereo I cant pass up on interesting speakers. To keep myself from buying everything I come across, I try to stick with rather rare and unusual model. Plus only if they are sold cheap (under $100). I already made a thread about...
Yesterday afternoon, I received the Velodyne VRP-1200 powered subwoofer I ordered via E-bay on 10/03/16 so as to replace an admittedly ancient 42-watt Aiwa TS-W5U 8" sub I was using with another two subs to fill in the bottom end of my system (I purchased it for home theater use in '96). I...
How would you do this?
What words would you use to describe this to others , how would you ensure that that person understood clearly what you were hearing?
Could you easily define what were the strengths of your system and what are they?
Why do you believe you are getting a good accurate...
Hi all!
I will shortly be buying an AT LP60, for my first turntable, and need to complete the setup with a pair of active speakers. Bear in mind, that I have a limited budget, and do not really want to be spending in excess of £60, (About $90 USD) so, and correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the...
i was thinking tonight about my gear, and in my collection, I have a Denon CD player in my reference system that is starting to go wonky. My thought is to replace it with one of the other units I have accumulated over the years. And then I thought, none of them are beautiful. They are all BPC...
