my speakers busted, no sound from tweeters. after opening the case and likely making it worse, i'm pretty sure its an issue with the onboard amp. left channel is shot really, so its time to get speakers. while looking, i got sidetracked into getting this too. audiophile analog and hipster fetish be damned, ive rationalized it as a way to listen to albums. LPs at the library were great, but nobody bothered to ground them and always hummed. time to bring this technology home.to start:

hate the audiophiles. how can anyone spend thousands on speakers and electronics. its idiotic and wasteful. also, what happened to imagination, people who want the most accurate rendition are covering for passively consuming music, theyre ignoring the music to see how "lifelike" it is. hi-fi, what a crock. i thought, no one can justify spending over $50 on speakers. as long as they produce sound, isnt that pretty close? but $100 takes you pretty far. and $150 goes even further. now ive got a phono preamp and amp. but i swear thats it. i take comfort in that ill probably be distracted by something else to invest myself into a crappy hobby like buying electronics.
