Post your turntable setups here! I wanna see how I stack up as a broke college kid!

xD I knew I’d contradict myself putting it in there, it’s just I really cannot stand it. I don’t know why, but I can’t even listen to the radio anymore.

 

Different likes…different wants….nothing wrong with that. Example….I know guys who wrap Oreo Chocolate Cookies in bacon and smoke them on a smoker. Not for me, but they say it’s excellent. Different likes. I can respect that. Your grandson! The youngster…yeah they help keep the hobby moving forward. I love hearing about the youngins spinning records.

I haven't listened to music on the radio in the last 20 years, but I still listen to a lot of music released since 2010; just not modern pop music.

 

Your setup is not so bad tho, in my opinion, you got pretty good-looking. I had a worse setup when I was finishing the asa miami campus 4 years ago.

 

I had my teeth cleaned a couple weeks ago, and I think my dentist used one of those. Didn't know it played records too.

 

It also can be used for Faberge eggs cleaning and to tattoo mice.

 

My daily use is a old Technics SL-1210 gotten off eBay around 2008 for $200.00. I put a Jelco 750 arm on it and it is currently used with an AT-33/PTGII.

 

In any case, it was a pretty small room, and I was living with 2 roommates, so I never listened to it for a long time, especially during the covid 19 lockdown, because the guys who were living with me didn't like my music system or any vinyl system. I don't want to blame race, but they always were listening to rap and some black music. They just laughed when I tried to introduce them to the other kinds of music. Hopefully, they will get dismissed from my campus next year.

 

OK, now we're getting serious!

^ New picture.

All in the interest of simplification and a smaller but stable vinyl collection.

 

Nothing wrong with that, we all started somewhere !

A tip is to get a decent cartridge and don’t play it, when it’s worn out. Otherwise you’ll be sad when your records are damaged when you graduate and upgrade ;-)
Records stay, TTs come and go.

 

In school I was broke as a joke
