Alright so today I bought a Dual CS-514 with the original cartridge (a DN239, made by dual) in working order, for 40$. It plays 33's and 45's, and it has an auto return. Needs a good cleaning, and its missing the 45rpm adaptor

Also, I recommend you all check out /r/diyaudio if you want to build your own stuff.

Thought I would tag along. My speakers are acoustic energy aegis 1 so nothing special but they provide a nice room filling sound and amp I have them hooked up to is a marantz model 2225. Will post pictures of how I have it set up tomorrow.

Dats a nice amp.

The bass dial has to be turned to about 2/3rds otherwise it is overpowering the rest of the sound compared to my old amp which blew it is so much better with a warmer sound.

Nice! I will add it to the first post.


I currently own a pair of Grados, that I use for my computer. Very nice sound, but I get a bit of a headache after a few hours. I am debating between getting an amp/DAC next, or a pair of nice IEMs.

I never really understood the whole "official" title thing, but I digress. I used to be big into DJ stuff. Used to always want to be a DJ. I had a Numark NS7 controller for a while as a bedroom gig.

That thing was pretty fun, but I never used it so it got sold. I now reside to home audio with a basic Stanton T.62 turntable with a Shure M44-7 cartridge. I'd prefer an STR8.150 deck, but I don't have $600 for a turntable that barely gets used. Anyway, all my stuff is routed into my Vestax VMC-002XLu mixer.

There's my little intro.

I also have a pair of over ear bose acoustics that I got for christmas, no noise cancelling.

My dad is going to fix up his old Yamaha RX-900u all in one thingy (amp and pre amp in one) Along with a full deck of Yamaha Gear that came with it, and then we are going to wire his two big PSB moniters to it, and then hook up my Turntable.

Im stoked to say the least

My home set up is 3 sls monitors and a danley sub that I can't for the life of me remember the exact models of powered by an amp that I cannot remember either lol

And this is why companies place product information on the item.

That involves me getting out of my bed and that's is just too much effort. Lol I'll find out tomorrow
