I've been daydreaming about getting into vinyl, and this would be an amazing way to do it. Aside from the high end equipment, the chosen albums would be awesome. My kids love the Star Wars movies and the Guardians of the Galaxy movies as well. They constantly ask Alexa to play music from those movies, so having the music on vinyl would be the cherry on top!

isuguy24's picture

I've been considering getting into vinyl for the past couple of years. This would be a perfect start!

Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. And may the odds be ever in your favor.

I am not happy with my current turntable, so that alone would be a terrific upgrade for me. I am sure I can find a use for the rest of the package, as well. :)

Great component pairing, lets believe.

I have a ton of records I haven't played in decades. This outstanding equipment would quickly remedy that situation!

I have a lifetime of carefully cared-for vinyl that seriously needs a new system to appreciate it, I.e., turntable is 30+ years old and getting more and more feeble! Thanks for the opportunity.
