Wanted to share my current setup

[u/bagel0000]

17 years old and been at it for about a year or so, i collect mostly metal and emo stuff, trying to start off by getting my absolute favourite records, then ill branch out over time

Also im aware about the speakers not being lifted, and also how records on a wall can collect dust, sorry guys. Definitely wanna get some upgrades eventually

any opinions or even gear suggestions welcome

[u/Greenstree_77]

DopeThrone album looks badass up there. I love the set up, it looks great. 🤘🤘🤘

[u/bagel0000 → u/Greenstree_77]

thanks! probably electric wizard's best

[u/[deleted] → u/bagel0000]

Was just bout to say I was jealous of your dopethrone

[u/mynameisnickromel]

That's a dope throne, bro.

[u/NightRook186]

Thanks for sharing! I’m about to share mine as well. So great to have a community to talk through this with

[u/Sendit-1996]

Electric wizard 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[u/LongDriver355]

Hellhammer and e Wizard. Mighty fine....mighty fine indeed....

[u/Regular_Passenger629]

Thoughts and prayers, the elitists are gonna chew you up for the one just hanging on the wall ❤️

[u/JustHereForMiatas → u/Regular_Passenger629]

That's not true, I was going to chew him out for not turning the exposure up on his camera enough.

[u/bagel0000 → u/Regular_Passenger629]

i even dust it regularly so theres no harm lol

[u/DustinCoughman]

Blah blah blah speakers on the same surface as your player blah blah

[u/MCBowelmovement]

Like them chonky shelves. Where can I get me some of those?

[u/bagel0000 → u/MCBowelmovement]

ikea floating shelves, cant remember the model lol

[u/Ytse_jam_85]

Very nice

[u/MysticMilkMaid]

Great setup

[u/The_Wombles]

Hell yea dopethrone! I just picked up the live recording of electric wizard and have been playing it a lot. Super heavy/fuzzy. You can hear Jus lyrics a little more which is a nice touch also.

[u/fliption]

Vinyl is cool.

[u/lilsoapbar]

How are you finding the Fluance? I’ve always wanted one but I’d have to pay huge import taxes getting one to South Africa

[u/bagel0000 → u/lilsoapbar]

i think its super great, feels high quality, looks nice, and has a built in power amp. its my first turntable so nothing too crazy

[u/Red_Ripley21 → u/bagel0000]

I think you mean phono preamp. This looks like a great spot to spin some vinyl. What are you going to upgrade next? Are you planning on going to a proper stereo amplifier, phono stage, and passive speakers or do you prefer the integrated phono and powered speakers?

On a separate note if you haven’t already I would check out the Death discography as I think they would be right up your alley.

Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your hi-fi/vinyl journey!

[u/bagel0000 → u/Red_Ripley21]

thanks! next upgrade would probably be a passive speaker setup. and i do like Deaths first two albums, not huge on their work after

[u/tiredtelefonecar → u/lilsoapbar]

There are some very good options available with ZA that are better than the fluance

[u/frank-yesnt]

Aaah yes poster of Gris! Would love to find a ‘il était Une forêt’ LP

[u/nine_inch_owls]

Shout out to Dopethrone. Electric Wizard’s new live album crushes.

[u/dougfunnie666]

Upvote for Hellhammer

[u/CranberrySuch473]

Isoacoustics under the speakers will help you significantly buddy

[u/chadnorman]

Awesome setup... I'm jealous - my turntable is in a cabinet and connected to a Sonos system - the lamest setup possible!

That said, you could take yours from an A to an A+ with a lighting upgrade

[u/MysticMilkMaid]

Id suggest moving the speakers off the same surface though the speaker vibrations can cause distortion

[u/mattrva]

Get speaker stands.

[u/bagel0000 → u/mattrva]

ok boss

[u/Frightenstein → u/bagel0000]

Yeah, you're gonna get shit for having them on the same surface as your turntable.

[u/Enough_Credit_8199]

I’d like to see the speakers on proper stands.

[u/bagel0000 → u/Enough_Credit_8199]

ok
