hello all i finally upgraded from my insignia turntable and bought an LP120X off of eBay. ive been loving it so much lately, gosh it sounds so amazing. the VM95E i’ve realized is super similar to the ATN3600LE, that I had on my insignia, in sound profile but has a nicer high end from what i’ve noticed. anyway i’ve ordered an ART DJPre II for it so i’m looking forward to that soon! anyway I hope you all have lots of happy listening and a great day!

Chilling after a long week. Cheers! 🍻

Happy listening friends

Hey everyone, I’ve been in to listening and collecting for awhile now but I’ve pretty much reserved myself to my lp-120 and some shoddy alesis speakers. I know I’m doing myself a disservice with the speakers alone, so in lieu of buying more records to listen to on a subpar setup I’m finally trying to upgrade. Is it worth buying a pre-amp, new speakers, and new stylus for the lp-120? Is there a noticeable difference upgrading the components that the turntable runs through, and if so what is the logical next step up for a beginner? I know people have pretty polarizing opinions about the 120, but I just don’t think spending 400+ on a table, then a preamp, speakers is in the cards at the moment.

NAD 5120 and a pioneer PL-S50 for the records.

Built the cabinet myself, but still a work in progress and it does match
the rustic furniture.

It has been a great investment in sound; it has always worked other than replacing the belt on the NAD 5120 turn table.

Been collecting for about 15 years now and my setup/collection is my pride and joy. Yes, I know it’s not ideal to have the speakers on the same surface as the turntable but unfortunately I’m working with a very limited space.

My setup is:
- Audio Technica LP120
- Edifier R1280DB speakers / AKG Q701 headphones
- Schitt Magni 3+ headphone amp
- Vylümi vinyl display light

What do y’all think? Also if you’re interested in seeing my collection, you can check out my page where I share and discuss it HERE 🎶✨

Hi — I’ve had a U Turn turntable and really like the minimal design style and wood finish on display in the living room.

We are looking for a new turn table that has similarly quality visual design, ideally good sound output, but open to exploring new options.

Any recommendations for visually appealing designed turn tables? Thank you!

Turntable is a Micro Seiki DD-40

Hey fellow beat pushers, need some advice here please:

I found a great used flight case for my 2 turntables+ mixer but it's a tight fit: 1cm padding between each piece and 1cm before the wooden exterior itself on the sides.

The height (above/below the gear) is no problem with easily 15cm extra to work with.

What do you think: safe enough for car transport when laid flat?

Thanks!
