Building a little vinyl rig for my daughter. Not its final resting spot.

Rega RP1 White Union Jack Base
Upgraded to Glass Platter,RB250 Arm W/Stanton 680 Mk2,RP3 Dust Cover playing to Kanto YU5s. Sounds way better than expected.



Edit: in its final spot now

That is one sweet looking and sounding rig.  What a lucky daughter you have.

Inspired by your picture I hooked up my turntable to my powered Mackies. Sounds fantastic! A true beer-budget audiophile rig.
I'll post pictures soon.

Oooh, headphone out to powered speakers... Double amping couldn't be good for your equipment downstream. Active speakers are supposed to be connected to either a pre out or line level, the general consensus is the extra juice from headphone out isn't good.
Maybe others could chime in.

There is a Pyle PP999 Phono Pre behind the turntable : )

Anyway, cheers!

Oof, beautiful setup. Pity I only like a couple of JMJ's earlier albums (Oxygene, Equinoxe, Oxygene 7-13).
 
And here's hoping Groovetracer release their stand-along turntable soon. The shot on their news page from December is mouth-watering.

I got back into him this year, hearing both Electronica 1-2. Funny too as I remember him from my teens I think?

A great album to hear on vinyl I bet? I was able to hear the HD copy and regularly walk around with the MP3 in my portable. I like how he has used the platform to bring in many of the "heavies" and let them be as creative as well. I guess as far as sonic fireworks that album holds the trophy this year. Just a ton of stuff going on. It's actually an album that challenges like like DSOTM, in that you can use it to lay trouble on the character of equipment. Either the equipment can do the signal or at least try. Lol

Yeah, an 80's vibe with the new stuff on top.  Fresh nostalgia.

  My first encounter was Rendez-Vous and his visit to Houston.  Crazy wild!
