Back in 2022 I set up my record player with some computer speakers that I had and it was good enough. Recently my dad asked why I had a stereo receiver and speakers in the garage that I hardly listen to. No more! The change has been made! Sunday morning #CoffeeAndVinyl has deep, full, rich sound! ☺️
