Yes, those would be a really good value if they are in good working order....
New to forum and Vinyl
Good Morning,
I have just recently been turned back on to vinyl. We rented a home for a long weekend via AIRBNB and the host was gracious enough to allow acces to his lp collection. I hadn't heard vinyl in many years and was taken by the feel and sound but also the interaction with the media itself. Had plenty back in the 70's but fell away as 8 track, cassette, cd, and digital made music more accessible and portable.
So, I had a Marantz 1060 amp and a pair of really nice BIC Venturi Formula 4 speakers in my barn, hooked it up to a professionally serviced and adjusted Technics SL-BD10 with a shure cartridge/needle I picked up for 100 bucks. I went to the local swap-meet and picked up 50 albums, Stones, Beatles, Led Zep, Bowie, Who, stuff like that for 1-2-3 bucks each. So far I'm into it for about 250 and it sounds really good.
Where would you start to upgrade. Turntable, speakers, add-ons? I really like what I hear so far but I'm so new to this I am sure I may be missing something.
Thanks, Scott
