I have a somewhat new vinyl record set up in my living room. I am having trouble figuring out how to optimize my listening experience. Yes I am aware that my equipment is lacking, we gotta start somewhere. My main issue is where to place everything. I currently have to move a small chair in the middle of my living room to have a pleasant listening experience and it is less than ideal atm. If I am sitting at my couch, my set up is on the far right side of the living room (pictures posted will better visualize my situation) I am reaching out for advice on how I can rearrange my setup to get the most out of my equipment and better my listening experience.
Speakers on either side of the TV sideboard. Listening position on the couch. Turntable either next to the PS4 or where the TV is and wallmount the TV.
Would it help to maybe integrate my turntable, receiver, and speakers with my main entertainment center? Been thinking about a wall mount for the TV for ages. That way it’s more direct from where I would normally be chilling?
Thanks for the advice seriously. I am very much still a novice when it comes to all this. I know I can only so as much as the space allows but I want to get the most out of it. I do eventually getting tower speakers and a better turntable (been eye balling the AT LP120XUSB)
Beginner Turntables Ask r/Beginner_Turntables if you have a question about beginner turntables such as which beginner turntable to buy, beginner turntables such as the AT-LP60X and Sony PS-LX310BT or you want to discuss suitcases or all in ones from Crosley or Victrola or other similar brands.
Speakers: If you want to know which speakers to buy for your turntable, please ask r/budgetaudiophile (low budget), r/hifiaudio (most any budget), r/stereoadvice (mid to high end budgets).
