I've had a hankering to hear what's on some of those old blues albums. Yes, ALBUMS, 33RPM. And the old CDs too. Anybody remember CDs? Our 40-year old stereo amplifier finally fried off a couple years ago and this house has been silent, but for TVs and video game soundtracks coming from the computers.
I'm thinking, an amplifier and some snazzy stereo speakers, you can spend a hundred bucks or 5000 bucks on whatever level of audiophile stuff you think you want. And I got to thinking....we have it all already. We use the smaller PA a time or two per year at GHI, playing CDs for filler noise and it does just fine through the 12-inch mains.
This is the groundbreaking, just laying it out to see if it will fit , and it does. There's lot more heavy stuff to move around before we're happy with it, but this is gonna work. The only piece I'm missing, I just ordered it, the pre-amplifier module for the magnetic cartridge turntable. Mag cartridges put out a miniscule signal compared to the CD player or anything modern. Modern stuff puts out 250mv, that's what the new stuff is expecting to get.
This is gonna be fine, it's just all layed out to see if it will fit in the room. Yep, we're gonna have sound and music. Again. Finally. Whenever we want it, which won't be all the time, we're not teenagers anymore. But this is really gonna work.
