    Here are the speakers my wife got me for my birthday. I plan on setting them up this weekend:

    Very nice! Did you get some quality speaker wire? I use the Monster brand on mine. 
    I did not, but thank you for the suggestion. I didn't even think of using quality wiring, just what they had in the box. Thanks, Chris!

    Hey, FSU Loser!

    I see you suckered some awesome woman (gotta be a Gator, right) to put up with you and your offspring. 

    Since those speakers are powered, might I suggest, instead of a receiver/amp, simply add this a little tube preamp to the chain. It will add some warmth to those killer,  rockin’ Klipsch speakers.

    Kidding of course. Which tube preamp do you suggest, Daniel?

    Even worse. I’m a Hatter! :grimacing:
     
    The single-tube red Bellari one I have does the trick for me, but there are other options out there—even Pro-Ject has a (pricey!) tube box preamp now—I just haven’t heard them.

    Awesome!! I put this cart on it and it was a game changer. Had always used stock AT replacements up until last year.

    Super easy to fit on and go. Basically just plugged the damn thing right into the tonearm. Strongly advise against any other methods unless you an electrician.

    I’ve heard great things about that cart! I think when it’s time to replace the stock one, I’ll go with this one. Thanks Chris!
