I have experience with the Rega Planar 1 Plus, as well as an older Pro-Ject table. You have nothing to regret about your purchase. The Planar 1 is a beautifully resolving package, and claims about the preamp being subpar are not worth your time. The Fluance TTs, in spite of their fans here, are not

This comment is spot on. You’re about to be very busy and mobile in the military. When I was in everyone had Walkmen and headphones and it was tapes or CDs. Been a long time now 😃 In my opinion, investing in some nice headphones with a good source that is small and mobile will let you hear great mus

The Klipsch Sevens are fantastic, but I've just read too many stories about them all of a sudden just not working anymore, and even while under warranty, Klipsch support is slow to resolve the issue (sending out a new plate amp), because half the time, they don't have any ;-(

i just bought this record player myself and it sounds great!, i also got this hooked up with bluetooth to my soundbar for now, im planning on getting klipsch the sevens. it does sound decent on my soundbar but if you want better sound quality it's definitely worth it to get speakers

It’s a good table. I too like automatic tables as I’ve had my Dual 1219 for over 20 years. As far as speakers go, for $1200USD (about £890) you can get Klipsch The Sevens which are fantastic speakers and have a built in phono stage. Just get stands for them and you’ve got a great setup

What is your total budget? You write, that you don’t want to upgrade and be set for some time. If so, the small speakers from those bundle deals won’t cut it, I think. The difference detween the Fluance are the phono carts. Ortofon is in my experience flatter / colder sounding, while Nagaoka is lush

Absolutely. I’ve never had an issue with them, as opposed to my previous pair of Klipsch the Sevens. Kantos have been great

That's all super helpful and makes a lot of sense. I want to stay with active speakers for simplicity. When I say loud, I don't mean eardrum shattering. :) I think I've been dragged down a bit of an audiophile rabbit hole when I started researching speakers. I know this is a KEF subreddit, but I won

So, one thing I see is that you don't seem to understand what warm sound means. I've never heard the Sevens, but they won't sound "warm" in any way. Warm means a bit more mid/upper bass, maybe a bit more lower midrange, and less on the high end. The Sevens are going to be on the bright side - this i

Well I'm sure they make better speakers than mine, but I use a pair of DCM time windows when I am utilizing the receiver or the turntable. Although they are very good by most people's measure. And if I'm streaming, I just go with a wiim mini that streams title to my Klipsch, the sevens which is a pr
