my new audio set up

Are you using 4" Edifier powered speakers with a stereo receiver that is meant to power passive speakers? If you want to keep using the powered speakers then you could replace the large stereo receiver with a small phono preamp. $22 Bozak may be similar quality to the one in the stereo receiver. $49

The decent Hitachi HT-41S turntable with a good elliptical tip stylus is more than good enough for the basic speakers. Generally if you are looking to spend $300 o
