Sounds like a very pleasing set up!Yeah, I have a fondness for really nice TT's But it's just a picture, not mine.
I unfortunately have champagne taste on a less-than-quality beer budget. Currently rockin' an old Kenwood KC-X1 pre-amp/tuner, Kenwood KM-X1 6-channel amp, pair of Polk Audio SDA-CRS, and a Klipsch SW15-II subwoofer. All excellent condition purchases from local pawn shops many years ago.
Are you small room, like me or larger?
We have a massive cathedral ceiling, expansive main living area, but I'm married. Wife is a treasure, but only concedes to so much.
I use a vintage Yamaha Servo computer system for my TV and movies.
I have a Denon, two Yamaha and Sony home audio surround systems sitting, unused. Not vintage.
This home is SO QUIET, the tiny computer set up adapted to TV fills the room, about like a decent soundbar would, but this classic rig (from '02) sounds better than any soundbar I've tried.
