I am entirely new to audio systems beyond iPod docks and have been always wanting to get a vinyl set up. I recently walked into a used electronics store in Los Angeles and found a pair of B&W speakers as well as a multitude of receivers and vinyl players. The B&W speakers were being sold as a pair for $350 and I though this was a great deal especially after listening to how they sounded. The owner of this small shop just picked them up the day before I arrived so I decided to purchase along with the necessary components to have a basic audio system. I then picked out a Concept 6.5 receiver to power the speakers as well as a Luxman P-405 Turntable with a Signet 5Ea cartridge. All of these components appear to be in great shape as far as I know. They were all very clean with very minimal wear and tear. (If you have information on what to look for when inspecting speakers/turntables/amplifiers I would really appreciate that) The store owner is a vinyl junkie who personally cleans and inspects all of the gear and was very helpful in setting up this system. In the end I got everything for $610 after tax with a couple feet of old monster speaker wire. This was definitely a spontaneous purchase but it is something I have always wanted to buy and learn about. If you have any information about the gear I purchased or links on where I can learn about it that would be great! I am trying to learn whatever I can about my purchase such as what its worth, necessary mmaintenance, specs, and if this is a good pairing of components.
