Aloha from Hawaii!

Aloha, my name is Clint. So I'm fairly new to the home audio world, I was really into playing music, but I dislocated my wrist skateboarding and can only play occasionally without having too much pain. That was also right around the invent of the iPod, which like many I was blown away by, and moved into a more convenient world of digital music. That was 2004.
Fast forward to the start of 2017, I got a $40 turntable from a discount store and busted out my three records that I have for some reason been holding on to, instantly fell in love. I started buying more vinyl, and was paying a decent amount for some, and I was concerned my $40 TT was going to ruin my records. Mind you I am on a budget (Hawaii isn't a cheap place to live) so my current setup is a work in progress, but I feel like I am achieving pretty good sound so far. This is what I'm working with:
Technics SL-Q3 Turntable w/ Nagaoka MP-100 cartridge
SMSL SA50 50w Chinese Amp
ART DJPRE II Phono Preamp
Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Bookshelf Speakers

I just got some vintage gear that I want to restore, but I'll save that for another post. Anyhow, I get pretty compulsive when I get into things, so I'll probably be here a bit. Thanks for having me!

Welcome! Sounds like you're well on the road to perdition. Congrats!

I grew up in Hawaii. What island/neighborhood?
 
Thanks for having me. I live up at Sunset Beach on Oahu. Great place to live, but the salty humid air is not very friendly to electronics or anything that is susceptible to rust or corrosion, and up until now I have never wanted to spend the time or money on it because of that.
