Hello from Florida

Hi there from Florida! I love listening to physical music and want to decrease my reliance on streaming services, and in general love the feel of tapes, vinyls and CD's and how much underground stuff you can find (particularly Tapes and CD's). I started my journey buying cassettes from a guy at punk shows who had a huge bucket of them, and decided "well, what if I listened to this on something other than a shoebox recorder?" and from there I just got more and more into tape, vinyl and CD collecting. I fianlly got a vinyl player for my 20th birthday and have been loving using it while I write.
Mainly I joined because my CD player has been failing me and I wanna know if I can fix it, and trying to put together a cohesive cabinet that I can have all my devices in one area of my room to listen too- but thats for another thread.
Current Setup:
Insignia vinyl player => hooked up to a set of Bose II computer speakers until I can get something better

JVC RX-75 receiver that has:
JVC TD-W30 tape deck
JVC XL-v161 CD player (on the fritz)

haha it wasnt really on purpose I ended up all having JVC stuff. I used to have a Kenwood KX- W4060 with a broken dubbing side, but i only recently picked up the TD-W30 to replace it after a few years.
and admittedly owning the sound was part of my move to vinyl/cassette/CD. There's something abouit being able to flip through a crate full of records to find what you wanna put on, look down a rack of cassettes, etc thats so appealing as opposed to just endlessly scrolling haha.
 
Well looks like im not the JVC man much anymore, sorry to say Quadman2. ran through my stuff today. After a day of pretty decent function my tape deck practically makes everything indecipherable (vocals washed out, staticty). Receiver and CD player sound busted up too.
sheesh. I hadn't used them in a bit since I got my vinyl player, so I suppose maybe they just failed at some point (additionally, we did have a move recently so they might have got bumped up.) what can be done, such is life, etc.
currently eyeing up some estate sales and facebooks. hopefully gonna try and have a at the bare minimum functional setup after christmas or so.
