I just got back into vinyl some months ago. I hadn't listened to one since the 80's. I'm enjoying the ritual of sitting down and listening to old classics.
What a sound difference compared to mp3's.
I had kept an old 90's Technics receiver with some Cerwin Vega speakers. I bought a new turntable (Audio-Technica LP120).
The red foam surrounds on the speakers where rotten so I ordered a replacement kit and installed them. Everything went well but the woofers are really flabby and fart out when pushed a little.
I decided to order some news speakers and got some Klipsh RF28's. They sound great but I missed the low end of 12 inch woofers so I replaced the woofers in the Cerwin Vega's with some after market ones and run them in parallel with the Klipsh ones
Holy crap what huge sound
So yesterday I dropped by Ikea for a nice storage unit.
The stereo separation is huge as they are about 15" appart.
Here's the before and after pic's
