Hi!

I want to start my first stereo setup, in a low budget (100€), and I need your opinion and to tell me that it will work if I buy the products.

How the gear will be used: for vinyl records, CD's and bluetooth reproduction for casual parties.

I've recieved old equipment (from my grandparents): a vinyl turntable "Philips F7215", an amp "Philips 22RH550 and a pair of speakers (they go with a "stripped" cable (DeepL translation told me this, I don't know if it's called that way haha)).
The main problem is that the amp is too old for this and it's not working properly, as the horitzontal faders from the EQ are making poor contact and depending on the position they are, it sounds bad, distorted and even quieter than normal (and also sometimes, too loud!).

My idea is, to start getting it ready, buy an amp from Amazon, specifically the "Romicta Amplificador Audio HiFi Estéreo 600W 2 Canales" (37€). I won't put the link because I don't know if I can lol. This amp has bluetooth, so it's fine for me.
Last, I'd add a CD reader (also on Amazon). It would be "MAJORITY Reproductor DVD para TV | Sin Región DVD Player HDMI con Conversión a 1080p | Leitor CD con Reproducción MP3 y USB" (30€), which has RCA outputs.
I know everything is a little bit seedy, but in the end, to start with my setup, it's not that bad. Also, I'm not looking, right now, for the maximum quality.

As an extra, I'll buy some cable.
1x 5pin female to RCA male, connecting the turntable to the amplifier.
1x RCA stereo, connecting the amp to the speakers (remember the stripped cable!).

So, with all that, I'll ask again for your take on this to start my first stereo setup!

Hope you can help me, feel free to ask any questions!

Hello!

I’ve spent too many hours on Football Manager and I’ve been thinking, what if I take a course to learn and achieve UEFA C?

I’m 28, played casually as a kid, and now I’m seriously considering doing the UEFA C. The game made me realize how much I love this side of football. But I’m curious if anyone here had actually got a real-life coaching license (like UEFA C) because of the game? What was your experience like? Any regrets or surprises?

Would love to hear your stories!

Hi!!

I’m 28 and I’ve always loved football. I played casually from ages 5 to 15, as a left-back (and first ages as a goalkeeper), but nothing serious, just local youth teams (even tho I won the league in my last year). Now, I’m considering taking the UEFA C coaching license because I want to get involved in coaching, but I’m worried I’ll feel out of place.

Most people I’ve seen doing these courses have either played at a higher level or have years of experience in the sport. I don’t. I’m passionate about the game, eager to learn, and willing to put in the work, but I have this feeling that I might not fit in or that others will question my credibility. Have you experienced anything similar? Any tips?

Edit: I'm from Spain!
