Not on your budget, or anything close to your budget. You need speakers, period. Diverting funds to anything else would be a waste at this point.Quote:
But you wouldn't recommend replacing the table itself?
The technology basically stopped cold in 1983. (Guess why.)Quote:
Didn't know if the technology had improved since 1980
I don't know anything about your cartridge. You might consider replacing the whole thing. But speakers first. Sorry to sound like a broken record.Quote:
or if I'm better off just getting a new stylus and sticking with it.
Honestly, they're not all the same, but they're close enough to the same that only minor features and modest power differences distinguish them. Among the major Japanese makers, Onkyo seems to be the low-price leader. Harman Kardon makes at least one with a digital input, but that wouldn't seem to matter for you. Yamaha, Denon, you really can't go wrong.Quote:
I haven't looked at stereo receivers in about 10 years, any recommendations?
Fair enough, though based on my experience, I would never recommend an Onkyo to anyone. I had 2 HDMI boards fry on 2 different receivers, and based on Amazon reviews, I am certainly not alone. I mentioned that I was looking for a receiver to a co-worker, who said, "I'll sell you my Onkyo for cheap, the HDMI doesn't work, though". Never again...but I'll look into the other brands, thanks.Quote:

Well, stereo receivers generally don't have HDMI. I bought an Onkyo for my Dad some years ago which worked out fine.Quote:

Any company that advertises a "3-inch woofer" should have the FTC up their a$$.Quote:
What do you have against the M-audio speakers?
