Hello
I've a fairly modest setup and listen to electronica, jazz, singer/songwriter that kind thing.
Kef R100
Emotiva A100
Schiit Mani
Dual 505-2 + OM30
Wanting some nice speaker stands brought me here. They barely seem to exist, so I'm settling on building my own as the only ones I like are more expensive than my speakers!

Hi Tom,
Welcome to AoS. Nice to see a good and reliable Dual 505 in use, I purchased one when I got back into vinyl 6 years ago, great TT, can spend a lot more IMO to better one.
Cheers
Adrian

Hello Tom. Welcome to AOS.
Nothing wrong with a "modest" setup. Having a big budget doesn't earn brownie points.

Enjoy the forum,

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Welcome to AoS Tom,
Yes, the Dual 505 is a very good deck, as is the Ortofon OM30 cartridge. Nothing to be modest about at all.
Enjoy the Forum
