Mid-life crisis turntable purchase and speaker build and who knows what else?!
Posted 25th March 2015 at 04:14 AM by Mike94531
Not sure why, but about a month ago I decided that I wanted to buy a turntable and get into listening to albums. So I did some research and bought an old used Technics SL-BD22 and a Sansui R99-Z.
Now I have been hitting up Goodwill looking for albums and I found an actual record only store about 45 minutes from me and I bought some records from them over the weekend.
The bad news is that I don't have any decent speakers, I used to have some old Yamaha home entertainment speakers for our old CD player however I sold them at a garage sale 3 years ago or so.
How have I been listening to my new to me albums? Well, I am using my speaker setup with subwoofer that supposed to be in my office connected to my computer. My kids are not happy to be watching YouTube videos with the old stock computer speakers!
Speaking of speakers, I bought the Parts Express MTM TriTrix speaker kit...without the wood.
Below are some pictures of my stuff and some pictures of my speaker build.
I bought that router bit kit almost 10 years ago I think and I have only used one bit in all that time! The kit will be getting a workout with the speakers!
3/4" MDF, still undecided on the finish, I don't want them to be too nice...they are going in my garage 1st!
For the holes I am going to cheat and throw the front panels on my Bridgeport CNC mill at home.
