Upgrade the capacitors in the crossover of the ESS and buy new diaphragms. That will give you some killer new speakers.
Technics and Threshold?
This might sound crazy - but I recently acquired two pieces of gear at garage sales - thinking of putting them to use in my modest bedroom system that did not have analog until these things miraculously appeared:
A technics SLD3 turntable and a Threshold FET10pc phono stage.
I'll put just a few hundred bucks into getting them both going - technics should get a new cartridge - has an old inexpensive audiotechnica.
Any reason why this odd couple pairing can't co-exist (very inexpensive TT and fairly high end phono stage?)
Need a cartridge recommendation - budget is probaby 80-140 - thinking grado, ortofon, but open to suggestions and howls.
Have lots of vinyl - especially jazz - hasn't been heard in years.
