No one warned me about the slippery slope
Been using the Edfier R1280T for quite a while and desperately needed an upgrade. I read a few good things about KEF and decided to try the Q150s. I also ordered the LS50 meta to get an idea of what “real” speakers sound like.
Well, unfortunately a subwoofer won’t work in my townhome and would very

It’s the Fluance RT85 worth the $500 ? This would be my 3rd turntable
IMO, you should be upgrading your speakers at this point. What is your current turntable? The R1280 are PC speakers that do okay for music, but they're not Hi-Fi speakers. The sound signature isn't quite as extreme as say Beat headphones, but it's definitely very bass heavy, and that bass clouds the

New turntable
LP60X and Edifier R1280 are both the bare minimum, turntable lacks adjustments and lacks a removable cartridge. Pass on the bare minimum if you can.

Good beginner setup?
Do not pay $99 for the Fluance phono preamp, it's not worth that much. The better Magnat Monitor speakers have a built in phono preamp! Pass on the bare minimum Edifier R1280 that are often paired with the bare minimum AT-LP60X if you can't afford anything good. Ignore people saying buy them because

What is the consensus on this system? Worth it? Gimmicky?
Pass on powered towers. Pass on Fluance powered speakers. Pass on Fluance PA10 phono preamp. Speakers and amplification: You have Edifier R1280 speakers? Upgrade the speakers first for the most improvement in sound quality. What is your room size LxW feet? Three way dual 6.5" Wharfedale Diamond 240

Help please, Edifier R1280T speaker isn’t playing loud enough
Hi! I just tried to update my record player and speakers from my crappy amazon one. I got a Fluance RT82 and Edifier R1280T bookshelf speakers.
From everything I saw, with those speakers you didn’t need to get a an amplifier. But, I set everything up and tried playback and the volume level is so l

Fluance RT81+ OR RT82?
Get the better RT82 with the speed sensor for lower wow and flutter and speed variation and the speed won't drift over time. The older RT80, RT81 and the RT81+ don't have the speed sensor. If you are looking for better sound quality then upgrade your speakers when you can since the basic low cost en

Beginner setup: Audio-Technica AT-LP60XUSBGM and Edifier R1280DBs
That will work. Both are the bare minimum. Pass on the bare minimum if you can. Pro-Ject Debut RecordMaster II €298 on sale from €449 is designed in Austria and built in Czechia. Or look for an AT-LP120X, AT-LP3X, AT-LPW30, AT-LPW40, AT-LP5X that may cost less. Or look for a good vintage turntable f

Any upgrade suggestions from this (about 150usd budget)
It's the basic entry level Edifier R1280 speakers that are the weak part and sound quality bottleneck. Once you have a good audio source then it's the speakers make the most difference for great sound. AT-VM95C is good enough for the basic Edifiers and the C conical tip stylus is good for beginner c

Potential upgrades for my beginner set up
$99 Magnat Monitor sale link https://www.adorama.com/mad172700na.html?sdtid=18163453&emailprice=t&sterm can order now at the sale price and they will ship when back in stock in August. Yes they should be noticeably better than basic Edifier R1280. Then move the Edifiers to computer speaker duty or a
