I would love to stop using the 5.1 channel home theater receiver/speakers and get a stackable CD player, Record player, Amplifier and EQ for L and R channels with some good floor stander speakers for the front and some good dual polk rm-202 speakers for rear for an old school quadraphonic system with a sub(depending on the floor stand speakers I choose). Anyway I would appreciate any advice anyone has. flac download for my phone but Its just not the same unless its over 3500kbps flac file and then its just perfectly cold. Any tips there will be greatly appreciated. Also I am still learning how to balance the tone arm and what anti-skate setting to use with each individual record. It was skipping whenever I opened or closed the cover but that is fine now. They were very squeaky(annoying to the point where my wife didnt want to use it at all but a little 3 in one oil on the hinges cleared it right up). I have checked every component and the issue was the hinges. They heyday sounds better but will it last like the A-T will? I hope so or Ill have to return the Heyday. I only have 2 weeks to test these guys out and have been testing the A-T for a week now and its great. The only thing I am worried about is build quality and longevity. They all, along with every record I have played on both the Heyday and the Audio-Technica lp-60x sound great with the exception of really old records that have been played out and no amount of cleaning seems to get rid of all the scratching sounds. No, the Tool album covers everything from a wide soundstage to all the midrange guitar effects you can shake a stick at, the mid-up into the highs- then into the low range scream's Maynard(lead singer for Tool)can shout out in just one song while keeping the music at the same level thus making their music sound unique. NIN The Fragile Deviations Vol.1 (its the fragile with all alt songs that are all instrumental), great for soundstage and just overall noise, bass and multi-track/overlay performance, Fleetwood Mac greatest hits(because its new and Rumors is a vintage with a lot of scratching) for its great mids and sparkling but not ear piercing highs along with Tool's Lateralus just to make sure Tool hasnt lost its "Zone out" capability going from CD to Vinyl lol. I have been playing vintage(with much cleaning and polishing lol) as well as newer records including but not limited to Fleetwood Mac, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Santana, Led Zeppelin, Greta Van Fleet(best friend suggested them, dude sounds just like robert plant which is sometime good but mostly bad IMO lol, their music is really good though, wish they had an instrumental album), and some heart so far. Also the Heyday has a true L/R RCA hookup going from my receiver(yamaha vx-373 home theater receiever downstairs with yamaha 5.1 speakers and an Denon 1705 upstairs with polk 5.1 speakers, I use 5/6 channel stereo with both) and into the player while the A-T has an L/R RCA cable going into the receiver but the input going into the player itself is just a 2 or 3 pole Aux cord. It(the A-T) looks cooler(except for the tone arm, the tone arm on the Heyday is much much better, thicker with the bend as well as fully adjustable anti-skate and counterbalance). Most likely I will be returning the A-T player, it has very convient features like auto-play and stop and the button to lift the tone arm instead of a little lever that looks cheap on the heyday. Ive had the A-T about a week longer than the Heyday so we will see about longevity and build quality(of the Target made Heyday, seems good so far though) over the next 2 weeks of moderate to hard use. I agree with Vwestlife that it(Heyday) looks kind of goofy but it sounds better than my Audio-Technica LP-60x.
