The Vinyl Thread

Thatā€™s what I have and thatā€™s where I bought it @backinatracksuit.

Have ye already got an amp etc.?

Said Iā€™d wait for the sales, that turntable is definitely an option,
What type of speaker have you with that, how much would I be looking at for a decent set up if the turntable is about 350

I got a Denon Amp, Denon Cd player and Dali speakers with it.

The speakers were actually relatively cheap but I had a good test of everything in Hi Fi hut, liked the sound of them, and felt they were more than sufficient for my needs.

You can get amps from a few hundred. Rega even make a small one specific to that TT. I splashed out much more though but still probably just mid-range

These are the speakers.

If I was you Iā€™d pop into Savins and have a chat. Theyā€™d have most of the same stuff as hi Fi hut

Youā€™d have a more than decent set up boxed off for 800-1000 euro.

Now that the Christmas tree is gone, Iā€™ve a decent bit of space to set up the hi Fi in the new gaff. Iā€™ve just left it disassembled for the past month or so. Was looking at getting a rack unit. You use anything in particular (for reference, my gear was all resting on top of those Ikea Kallax units with records underneath)?

Leaning towards those Atacama units. Pricey but all the hi Fi nerds have a horn for them

Latest purchases (one is from Waterford too @Fagan_ODowd )

Another Green World and Ricochet are great listens. Whatā€™s the third one - presumably the Waterford one?

Katie Kimā€™s latest (and final under the Katie Kim moniker apparently).

I use the IKEA kallax units. Like yourself. Kit on top records underneath. I think they are perfect and wouldnā€™t spend money getting anything else.

They do the job alright but Iā€™m a bit tighter on space here so looking at something narrower.

Hardly a bad track on that. Bar the Thompson Twins

Iā€™d say you have a fine set up there, iā€™m still procrastinating, was up in FutureSoundVision last week and got some great advice from a sound man who knew his stuff, Iā€™m looking at about 750 for what weā€™d want, itā€™s a lot of money, but it would make a lovely job of the front room, Iā€™ve a feeling it will happen alright

750 all in is not bad. What was the amp?

Thereā€™s a Sony one doing the rounds. Good value in it. Itā€™s entry level but should suit most.

The turntable was packed away for nearly two months until the other day so Iā€™ve it going any spare minute now.

Ya, itā€™s Sony all the way for about 750, itā€™s a lot of money

I spent about double that :see_no_evil:

Got a CD player as well thoughā€¦ But I was planning a good upgrade and didnā€™t want to be switching out anything for a long time (I was working off a 20 year old Aiwa HiFi and 15 year old Gemini Turntable). Iā€™d a few bob set aside from a landmark birthday that helped ease the pain.
