I picked up one of them tube amps that started popping up everywhere lately. I don't know if they're actually any good because I'm the opposite of an audiophile but they sure look fucking awesome. Very happy so bragging

Looks more expensive than it is, pretty cool though. Something about vintage VU meters that's appealing to look at. I'd recommend having the speakers a bit further apart from each other. Not an audiophile either but I don't like basic quality either. Upgrading cables make a huge difference, and a decent phono pre-amp can improve the sound as well. Carry On with the bragging, it sounds nice

I'm actually repositioning everything. I used to run everything (turntable and tape deck) through the PC into the Logitech G560 speakers. It was a bit shit. Today I bought a set of JBLs (A130) with a woofer. So when they arrive tomorrow I will run everything I have through that tube amp into the JBLs. This will probably be the nicest set up I've ever had in my life. The speakers will go on either side of the screen which is a bit wider than they are now. I think.

Yeah, it took you 35 years to get this far.....
....now finally after all those $10 bills you spent on records, you can finally hear what they really sound like!
Here's some reference test material for starters:

As long as you’re repositioning your set up, I‘ve always been told by people way more into stuff like this that you should never ever put your speakers and your turntable on the same surface, because the vibrations of the speakers might affect the record playing.

Yeah I figured that. I have the speakers on the other wall in the room now. Everything sounds really good. That woofer takes up too much space though
