Are those plasma arch speakers?

Looking for a turntable on Craigslist but it takes patience to find anything decent... I've been needing a new table for a while now and I'm slowly thinking of caving and buying new. The project debut carbon seems to have good reviews in my budget. But I know I could get way better bang for buck with a used table. What do?

Also, any vintage turntables that you guys prefer? I've been keeping my eye out for technics, pioneer, and thorens, then looking up details on the model.

>>59659241
I can only imagine how pure the sound is on that setup.

>The biggest problem is that no-one really knows what an amplifier will do when a reactive load reflects some of the power back into the amp's output. We can hope (without success) that the effects will be negligible, or we can try to make speakers appear as pure resistance (again, without success).

>Because these figures are so rarely quoted (and I must admit, I have not really measured all the characteristics of the 60W amp in Project 03 - open loop measurements are difficult to make accurately), we have no idea if amplifiers with poor open loop responses are responsible for so many of the failings we hear about. It is logical to assume that there must be some correlation, but we don't really know for sure.

>If THD is quoted without reference to its harmonic content, then it is quite possible that two amplifiers may indicate identical distortion figures, but one will sound much worse than the other.

http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-speaker-cable/

>We could, though, repeatedly pick out which cable sounded better and have that pick consistently be the same cable. This was the only result so far that we were confident in.

How do i get the output from my pc to go to headphones and speakers, and choose what output goes to each device?

>>59665255
plug them into the proper ports? if you have realtek, install the driver and use the control panel's multistream features

I have a Little Dot Mk1+ amp.

Bought an audiophile Burson V5i opamp for it.

It is absolutely terrible. Inferior in every way to the cheap Chinese one it came with. It is noisy as fuck and has a constant buzzing noise.

Dude buy at least a semi auto turn table, yes the project ones are nice but full manual.
One of the best back for buck turntables around is the Denon DP300, it is full auto.
I'm using a 40+ year old Dual 1226, which is luckily in really good condition. Took me some time to get it working again, all the grease inside the mechanic hardened and the rubber parts fell apart. Thats the thing with old turntables, you have to out work in them.

Not a cheap receiver. Sony ES is high end stuff, its just mine's not a home theater unit so its not as boss.

It was cheap for me though, got it as a gift. And all in all that entire setup cost me a total of $20 so I'll take it.

>>59667738

They really screwed me on it. It was like $50 and then they had the balls to charge me $15 for shipping. It was a fucking envelope.

When I complained about quality they said to spend $20 on shielding.

>>59667810
>20$
put it on ebay and sell them individually.
I once found a kenwood hifi amp the dumpster, i cleaned the pots to sell it as refurbished. It sold for 170$
Working, big hi-fi amps are 100$ easily on ebay.

Yeah, I've thought of that. When I get a better receiver I will be selling it.

I just brought home a simple mini Sony CD/aux/ipod shelf stereo for 10 bucks at goodwill, cleaned it up and attached some spare speaks I had around. Sounds good. Not """"Audiophile"""" but good.

Found a Technics receiver/cassette in a dumpster and after some cleaning used that thing for a few years too.

Goodwill stores are great for this kinda thing.

>>59667628
This is intended as humour right?
It's not actually someone stating that the distance the cable has from the ground affects the sound the speakers output?

>>59668126
I'm not from where you're from apparently, so what are goodwill stores?

>>59659912
The power plug gets me. Inside the wall it's standard romex cable.

Hence I wired this setup up using wire I bought at walmart for $10 and I bet it sounds the same as those...whatever the hell those cable things were.

They're saying all of these are shit. The Headphones logo is a quote from someone praising it and the Eye logo is the magazine saying it's bullshit.

Audio related but not audiophile specific question:
I need a new stereo receiver, my old one is probably fried (Going to replace the fuses just to be sure, but they look fine so it's probably just dead). I need 130W for LR front channels, and I don't want to spend $500 on it.

Is there any realistic chance of finding some old used thing for like $50? I went to a local pawn shop today but they wanted $80+ for all of them and most of them were only 65W/channel

Within The SONY LINE it was a good receiver (not as good as other ES products like >>59667810 pic) and its solid and sounds great for the time being so I use it. Also it was free.

I really don't give a fuck about what is considered audiophile and isn't here I just took a pic of my setup because it was next to me and I thought the OP was looking for pics of other anon's stuff so I shared mine, but I now see the sneks were the real topic here and I have no sneks just a nice bargain home setup.

also why the fuck would i want to use the integrated fm on any receiver anyway? I don't listen to the fucking radio through a receiver.

At those frequencies, the only thing I would care about from a wave propagation perspective is to have a fat wire to lower the resistance.

On the small signal side, shielding makes sense though.
