I'm also in the Pacific Northwest. Definitely check out Gig Harbor Audio in where else Gig Harbor WA. They are very much into vinyl and have a great website. Of course once you come over to that part of Western WA you may not want to go back to Eastern WA. Also Tacoma has a Vandersteen dealer.
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I'm reeducating myself.... after years of no TT and focusing on just stereo listening.. I had a some early Klipsch Hersey’s and some GENESIS speakers pair with Yamaha receiver and low end turntable 30-40 years ago -- I can afford a higher end setup this days -- so what are thoughts on pairing a luxman l-550axII with Klipsch cornwalls?
I like the Herseys for music in the day.. cornwalls seem to be larger herseys but may well need audtion some of the tower types folks seem to tout..
I still thinking on TT -- but may get a VPI scout or prime -- thinking through the cartridge choices and other things is still a serious education -- recc?
music taster are varied -- jazz to singer vocalist miles davis - linda Ronstadt and a host of others for vocal musics and instruments- soft rock of the 70-80s- to some classical
thoughts -- looking to 15-20K for the refit for stereo listening - but could stretch some if I like the setup
