Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this, but it looks like the Linton's are on "Sale" at most retailers at their original pricing of $1499 with the stands.

Wharfedale Linton Heritage Bookshelf Loudspeaker (pair)

The original LINTON was well known for its warm, rich and natural sounding character and the new Wharfedale LINTON retains that standing but imbues it with an open, detailed performance that will entice you to explore your whole music collection, once more.

A steal at that price as I think they are the best $1500 I’ve spent in this hobby

@MattHasIdeas not sure where you ended up with considering a new turntable but I will say the Theory has met and exceeded my expectations. If you like the look and feel of the older Orbit then this a great step up. I'm not saying it beats the spec sheet of the StudioDeck, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the sound I'm getting and the flexibility to upgrade to bigger and better carts was a selling point.

I posted this picture in the U-Turn thread as well, but the finish is gorgeous and everything feels very well manufactured.

Sorry for the delay - It’s beautiful!

I ended up spending all my new turntable budget on gifts for other people. (Gross, I know) I’m still casually on the prowl, but this is definitely a major contender for me.

Edifier does a nice job with their powered speakers, I have the R1700's. They've been tucked away for a while, but might come out of retirement with the ProJect TT on it's way.

Hope you're enjoying your set up :)

Yea I actually saw one of your posts re: Edifier in here so I started to research some of the ones they had on TTL

Hopefully they ship the goods soon so I can get these Christmas vinyl in rotation!

Recommended them recently to someone who desperately needed an upgrade from the computer speakers they had jury rigged to work. They are very happy. Haha
