Got into the hobby in 2019 during the pandemic by watching Cheap Audio Man. Started out with some speakers my buddy built 5 years prior, a 50 dollar marantz quartz off fb market place and a Sony PS-LX250H. I bought records from discord and would buy, sell and trade speakers till I landed on my current pair.
Current setup: Rotel A11 tribute, Klipsch RP600M MK1’s, SteelSeries Nova Pro DAC, Sony PS-LX350H turntable
