I decided on the middle-of-the-road Technics SL-1500C.

I’m nearly done setting it up, feels great to get back into vinyl. 😎👍🏻

 

Yes, I got a new bunch of used cds.

I got it used. My trusty old Ear 9 is now relieved. Harmony Design is a swedish brand, their HPAs are really something else!

 

A 7 inch single! If you grew up with The Muppets you know what song this is…

 

That Dying Fetus cover though…!

 

A couple of upgrades from dvd in the giallo box but the spanish ones are new to me.

I haven’t owned (or used) a turntable for some 30 odd years.

Now I want to get back in the game. Musts for me: direct drive, must be ready to play out of the box. Nice to have: bluetooth, phono preamp, USB I have no DJ ambitions but if controls ala the SL1200 are included I don’t mind but I will likely never use them.

I have pretty much narrowed it down to 3 turntables but they are in different price ranges and i’m not sure if more money will actually matter?

  1. AT LP-5x. Looks nice, wont break the bank.
  2. Technics SL-1500C. Pricey but looks nice too.
  3. Cambridge Audio Alva TT v2. Breaks the bank but seems to have all the features.

Thoughts? Am I overlooking a turntable?

My favorite secondhand store advertised the Fu Manchu movies so I snagged all of them and added a few more discs for shits and giggles. Luckily I have a weeks vacation ahead of me and can actually watch some of them now! 🥳🍺

Well, no. You need to subscribe separately to streaming services. And yes, I was sceptical before I tried it. There is nothing else like it, if you want to take control over your digital music library Roon is the best way.

If you take the free trial you’ll see why there’s nothing else like it today. Its next level. Plex works fine too ofc. But its nowhere near as polished.

That would be Avatar 2. One of the blind buys. I suspect it will be very similar to the first, so a nice demo disc. The colors trilogy is superb, can’t recommend enough, especially at $7!

People will moan and groan because paid software and not opensource but there is nothing even close to Roon for doing this. https://roon.app/en/

Hey! I watched Videodrome just last week! On 4K UHD bluray ofcourse.

AFAIK all Sony players support SACD, the more common of the upmarket cd formats. It could have been mentioned.

If I were inclined to go all hifi at the summer place i’d probably look into this category. I stick to separates too.

I feel back then the humongous packaging didn’t matter that much since the format itself is bulky. Now huge packaging annoys me. 😂

OP here. Thanks for all your input! It’s really an embarrasment of riches which will take me some time to navigate. But thats part of the fun, right? Again, thanks everyone.

Thank you! I think you mean the A24 release of Midsommar on UHD, thats the yellow one. The big black box is The Godfather trilogy UHD box.
