fat ralphy Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 @NightmareOnElmStreet some prices are mad inflated on that shit at times but the market allows for competition and I am rarely buying Mint. I mainly dig it because you can find almost info on any version of any release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOOGLE? Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Picked these two up Friday at goodwill. I probably looked and sounded like I lost my damn mind in there by myself but. Also did my first purchase of vinyl online last week and they came in from Amazon today.. prolly will rarely do it again unless it's for something I'll never find out in the wild that I really want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got rid of everything during the roommate years when I was moving like every 9 months. Tech 12 is next Copped this end table for $19. And got these Sony speakers for free. Things are coming together turntable on top of amp ok or a no-no? planning to keep records on that little shelf and have speakers on the ground 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 @KILZ FILLZthat should be ok - vibration is obviously the enemy when it comes to set ups, speakers on the same platform etc That table is a come up for 19$ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad idea. One of my buddies is the audiophile industry, and the engineering that goes into developing design and materials to lessen vibration plays a huge roll in sound quality. It's nuts! But weight is just part of the achievement. Then there is cabling. It's crazy. But these systems sound so good and these companies It's always try to push the envelope to what they think pure sound should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILZ FILLZ Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Found my speakers today. $17 for both at a thrift store. They were BNIB and part of a home theater set up from the 90s, guessing from designs on the box. Opened the box, took them out of their foam wrapping, and took these to the counter and said they didn’t have a tag but I want them lol. Second pic showing stock speaker wire has never been twisted around a receiver stud. All I have left to get is a 1200 and start stacking records. i hope these sound ok. I can’t find anything online when I search their P/N 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, what do they go for used these days in good condition? Probably a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILZ FILLZ Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 @LUGRThe plan to get a solo Tech1200 went kaput last night. Was offered a deal i couldn’t pass on. Was able to swoop up TWO functional Pioneer PLX1000 with Stanton headshells and all cables for $400 cash. Just need cartridges and styli now. And a mixer I guess. And a bigger desk/space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the other table on a shelf waiting. Just wanted to get up and running for now and get comfortable with how this all works. I’ll have to move some furniture abound to make everything fit better and get the speakers off of this desk I think. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you want to get technical, depending on the gauge used in the wires individually if it's a larger Guage than recommended you could loose sound quality so to speak. But yes, in general it should work. On a side note - I am sure you made audiophiles around the world lose sleep if they ever find this thread and read it.

KILZ FILLZ Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’ve been troubleshooting some sound issues for a couple weeks now. Left and right speakers randomly act up. Either get distorted, fade out, or just not work on start up. Bounces back and forth from left speaker and right speaker. Sometimes will play sound flawlessly. I won’t touch anything and then when I try to listen to music the next day it happens again. i figured it was the cheapo speaker wire that came with these home theater speaker from AmVets but I changed it out for some 16ga speakerwire and banana plugs to the amp, but the Issue persists. Have checked all the connections over and over. Wires to speaker, wires to amp. Wires to turntable, wires to amp. i think I’m gonna buy an FM antenna or cheap CD player to hook up to the amp and see if the issue continues. If it doesn’t, I’ve isolated it to the turntable. If the issue continues I think I’ve isolated it to the amp… maybe? It could be the speakers… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the simplest solution so probably the right one. Maybe they can’t take what the amp is pushing. There is a guitar center nearby that has some used speakers I want to check out.
