My quite cheap setup

My quite cheap setup

Hi!

Just found out about this sub and i wanted to share my setup.

So far i got:

- Record player (Sony PS-LX50 ): was stored in my grandmas attic full of dust. I dissambled, cleaned it and changed the broken stylus for a new Audio Technica one for 15€.

- CD player (Pioneer PD-M603): a 6cd changer. It was stored next to the record player, surprinsingly, everything worked and just had to clean the exterior.

- Tape deck (Marantz SD285): just picked it up in the morning for 10€ second hand. Seller stated volume was too low and muffled and that a button was missing. Cleaned the heads and mechanism and now its working! Now Ill have to 3d print the missing pause button.

- Phono preamp (Aliexpress special): it works, for 10€ cant ask for more (yes, it is noisy, I have added a small capacitor on the input jack, it has improved the noise a tiny bit).

- RCA selector: its for video but im just ignoring the yellow ports. 7€, it does its job.

- Mini system: just using it for the amplifier for now. Was in my girlfriends parents house in storage.

Couldn't attach the picture but im using a pair of Pioneer CS 301 for speakers, found them next to a dumpster. Cleaned and painted them, now they are working beautifully.

So, in total, including cables, about 60€
