That’s a pretty fucking shameful post. It’s one thing he recommends upgrading the gear but to then blow himself and knowingly make that other guy potentially feel like shit afterwards and disappointed in his gear that he invested in is fucking low. What a cunt. In other words, a total jh901 poat.

I get that some people have trouble getting vinyl to sound good. Buying all your gear online if you've never had a turntable is probably a bad idea, if you ask me. It's made even harder when you have a problem and you go to the internet for help (especially a place like that stupid forum). I understand why Tide has to put crazy messages on their pods after reading about the issues people have with their stereos.
"I just bought a new Rega Planar 1 and the dust cover is cracked and the arm appears bent. Like it was damaged in shipping. What should I do?"
"You should spend 1200 bucks on Groovetracer upgrades and another 1200 bucks on an SME arm. You should also get rid of your speakers and upgrade them to a pair like mine, and you will definitely need to buy a new house because you live in an acoustic nightmare."
That's what happens when people actually believe shit like mastering engineers are what makes music worth listening to, and that there is a "night and day" difference between a first pressing or second pressing, or that a stupid power cable makes a difference.

And you forgot the Rega Planar upgrade everyone needs, the white belt over the standard issue black belt.

Some dude is bitching that he can't enjoy music because he listens too hard or something forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/over-obsessive-about-my-systems-sound-quality.725366/Then Strat Banger actually bend down and fellates himself: Although this may sound a bit brutally honest to some, that's exactly it. After looking at your profile, OP, the gear you have is entry-level. You cannot hope to get even a mid-fi listening experience with it. With vinyl, you need to spend a lot more to get a listening experience that will rival and possibly better the digital one. The potential for a much more fun and rewarding listening experience is definitely there with vinyl but you need a serious upgrade if you want to really start to enjoy yourself. Vinyl isn't for everybody. It's a novelty to some. Since I wanted to be sure it was for me, I decided to give it an honest shot by buying a 1K turntable in the VPI Nomad (version 2) equipped with an Ortofon 2M Blue cart. Its onboard preamp being good and VPI producing a solid turntable, the experience showed me the true potential of vinyl. After about 7 months, I bought a VPI Prime, Dynavector 20X2L cart, and a Dynavector P75 MK3 preamp. True, all this cost me many thousands of dollars but the sound has been infinitely upgraded to such a quality that I really enjoyed it. And now, I just bought myself a Lehmann Decade phono preamp to upgrade from my beloved P75 MK3. The sound is already so good that I'm quite excited about this latest upgrade!Bottom line is simple ; you can't squeeze water out of a stone. Your gear is good entry-level stuff but it'll never wow you so don't try to make it sound like something it can't aspire to and decide to either upgrade your vinyl rig entirely, give it up in favor of a cheaper and easier listening experience in digital, or stick with what you have and accept the limitations of your current setup.The end result is a little sticky and messy, but Strat Banger seems pretty happy with himself, and knows deep down inside, that he's better than you. There's nothing more obnoxious than a newly-minted expert. Look man, I've been into vinyl for almost four years now so let me dispense some wisdom...

When did they stop being called records? The first time around everyone just said records, lps, singles, 12” whatever, now everyone over there feels the need to specify vinyl so we don’t get confused and think they’re referring to flexi discs or that plastic ones for kids.

And don't forget "spinning" (and its variations) as opposed to "playing". The SHites need to remind everyone that they only listen to music and watch movies on physical media.

Recently I’ve seen SHites refering to “spinning a silver”

Well, looking at CuntMangler's system profile, I can see that he spent about $4000 too much on his made in Cliffwood, NJ turntable. I guess that gives him bragging rights and license to mock other peoples gear. Asshole.

It wouldn't be advisable, however I am sure a Gort would be more than happy to help you! :-)

Let me guess: TwatFondler owns a VPI, right? One of those shitty garage made turntables that anyone who's not a flag-waving Trumptard audiophool understands is a piece of overhyped garbage?
Lol, thank Cthulhu for old-ass Japanese direct drives.
