Hey everyone. After discovering how much better vinyl sounds than the mp3s on my computer, I went over to my friend's house whose father is a slight audiophile and was blown away by the stones. I immediately went home and grabbed the Polk monitor speakers that were in my attic and plugged them into my system. The sound was pretty good, but not great. I really want to experience music when I listen to it, but the fact remains that I'm a high school freshman with a budget of about $100 and the only turntable I own is the ITTUSB one my dad got for importing songs to cds. On top of that, my 'reciever' (component system, amp, whatever) is the samsung MAX-555: a huge space-wasting lump of metal with a broken tape deck and cd changer. At least it has an auxillary input so I can plug in the Denon DCD-1500 cd player or turntable, but that's about it. I really want to achieve hi-fi someday, but if I can't, I would be grateful if the people on this board helped me gradually work my way up. I'll get a job during the summer, but I don't have audiophile-like budgets, so I'm hoping someone on this forum will rise to the challenge of making the best of minimal circumstances for music. Thanks, (and sorry for the alliteration, I couldn't resist)
