The Dual TT is from Craigslist and I'm into it $25 at this point. The total system was about $100 and purchased over a year at 50% off Friday sales. Panamax 5510 ACRegenerator Marantz SR4120 Receiver Sony CPD-XE370 Dual 1246 Turntable Wharfdale Diamon 8.4 Speakers

Enjoy!

Nice scores, system, and welcome to AK! Youve got some sweet thrifts out there.

 

NICE!!!

 

Now that's a room to chill and listen to music. I love the painting behind the system... Nice touch!!!

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks. It was painted by my great grandfather.

 

Thank you!

 

Congrats looks like you are off to a great start.
All of my system was either directly or indirectly put together through thrift stores or Craigslist.

 

That room and system just scream a scotch and cigar. Nice job.

 

Nicely done!

 

Thanks! It's a start, and hopefully will improve over time.

 

nice picture! what a great place to sit and travel!

 

Thank you! It's a work in progress for sure. So much I don't know, so it's nice to be around people that do.

 

How do you like those speakers? I have a pair I bought about 15 years ago new and still have them but they are on the sidelines at the moment while I'm into the vintage stuff.

I always thought they needed a sub woofer.

 

I like them. I'm new so they are my baseline. Good sound and seem to be well made. I also have a vintage pair of Audio Dynamics that I may use at some point. I mostly listen to classical and jazz, so I don't need thumping base. I think they were originally supposed to be front speakers for home theatre. I got them from Goodwill, hence the lack of grills.

 

Excellent! I love the thrift store finds.

 

Nice system...enjoy!

Peace and goodwill.

 

And a bit of Salvation (Army)!
