Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit
@jay73 You took some flak there. No worries, dust off and regroup. I think it’s a good thread idea. You just didn’t state your case very well. I used have an Onkyo receiver and 5:1 speaker set up in a temporary lodging and it sounded pretty dreadf... 
Audio Technica and Technics Tonearm
And, don't panic if you think it sounds a little thin and bright at the start. It'll take 10-20 hours to wear in until the frequency balance levels out. 
Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range?

Your first system and your journey...
@edcyn Not much anymore. Work commute wastes 3 hours of my day. And distracted drivers in big SUVs make it risky. But I do love biking.

12" Audio Creative Groovemaster with VTA and titanium armtube and Arche headshell and Herron VTPH-2A to see what the fuss is about and find out if it will it see off my modified Croft.  
Your first system and your journey...
A little off topic. I worked for a summer in high school to get enough to buy a new 501 frame racing bike. I had it 2 days when trash from across the tracks stole it from the yard. I never took for granted how hard it is to save for something agai... 
What Possessed Me to Do This?
Hopefully, you're not moving the refrigerator and stove, chests of drawers and stuff.
