Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

Question…. Those two systems and some of them around here have the turntables at like knee height…. Is there a benefit to this? I fucking love having my turntable at chest height. My knees hate the bottom shelves and those/youse guys are like living there. (Also, is this why so many of you hate 45 pressings… lol)

I have my Rega on a wall shelf at about chest height (I’m 6’5” for reference) and my Feickert on a sideboard. I kind of prefer the sideboard, especially if I’m installing a new cart or something that requires patience.

If I ever change carts again (kind of unlikely on this table) I’m taking the thing and putting it on the workbench in the shop. (Which means I will have to clean the fuck out of the shop)

I’m pretty sure all those tubes cost more than my whole rig.

Also, that dude standing in front of that statue like that looks like the audiophile equivalent of the q’anon shamen.

Gotta love those lifestyle systems that just disappear into the room.

Funny, that’s my neighbor who doesn’t even own a stereo although he is giving it some thought now.

That's objectively hilarious.

Does he have a clue about the price tag there? I’m sure that shit sounds unreal, like Elton playing in the room with you on Steinway in a perfect acoustic room…. With a choir of angels and what not…

Have you had a chance to hear the Clarisys speakers yet? Carl has them sounding really great now.

He’s invited me up but I haven’t had time for much lately. When I get time it’s nice to listen to my setup, cheaper too.

I feel more and more this way about my set up all the time. It’s mine and I love it.

I get a strong “Dude” vibe from him. Does he like White Russians by any chance?

I bet you'd get this look when you tell him those speakers alone are $120,000...
