Turntable Guides

Pass on basic bare minimum 4" Edifier R1280 that are often paired with the basic bare minimum AT-LP60X if you can't afford good speakers. Size the speakers to the room size. A 20 x 30 room is extra large. For that size room at least 6.5" speakers or floor standing towers with dual 6.5" mid bass driv

First setup

Would love to hear ideas on how to gradually upgrade it! The good turntable, cartridge and stylus are already higher quality than the speakers so you are set there!

thoughts on this setup?

That works. Or save $50 with the RT82 since the OM10 is just about as good as the newer version 2M Red on the RT83. What are the room dimensions? Kanto YU6 for $450? For that price you could get separates. Amplification: RSL mini amp plus Fosi X5 Phono that should be better than the phono preamp in

Speakers for record player

That's a solid entry-level turntable you got there! If you'd appreciate a system with minimal amounts of setup required and which you can hook up to your TV via HDMI ARC as well, then I recommend these: NEUMI BS5P-ARC - powered bookshelf speakers Dayton Audio CS800 - powered subwoofer Monoprice Coax

Upgrade suggestions

Could be large enough room for 6.5" speakers. Or 5.25" if you don't have much room for speakers. Pass on the smaller 4" speakers.

What is the room length and width? Polk XT15 and Kanto may be the same ball park. Hard to say without hearing both and it can be personal preference. If you do have a large room then get larger 6.5" speakers. Polk XT20 https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/polkmxt20-blk-rb/polk-audio-mo
