Translation...some selective spending on used equipment can make a big difference. The only item purchased brand new in my setup was the cartridge for the TT. Everything else was researched and put together piece by piece as the right deal came along. To give you an idea, the modern version of those speakers sell for almost $700 brand new. I was patient and got a previous model for less than half that price.

i found a beautiful KENWOOD KR7600 on CL for a good price but can't afford it right now.

I like that. I often get over-zealous when pulling records to play and end up with a pile beside the TT.
If I were at home, i would now have to listen to this:

Beatles, The ‎– 1967-1970
Label: Apple Records ‎– SKBO 3404
Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Compilation
Country: US
Released: 1973
