Hi!!! i have a similar condition with a 89′s cheap plastic Sony Stereo System(STK amplifier)when combined with a 70′s small Philips Two way speakers, the sound is amazing better, but i never think about the stylus upgrade…tks for idea.

With the newer speakers you get a huge box with a tiny 3 or 4 inch speaker inside, and fake tweeters that’s why they **** lol

oh and that music on the record was awesome!! and turntables pretty much disappeared in the 90s but now they’re making a comeback! I hope they start making more units like the one you have there, I **** the new ones now and CD’s just arent durable enough!

TEAC and JWin still make some modern-style (non-”nostalgic”) integrated stereo systems with a built-in turntable, but they are hard to find and the quality is likely poor.

Modern speakers also often are purposely designed for lots of deep bass and high treble, leaving a big “hole in the middle” in the midrange. Vintage speakers often have a much more balanced tonality, with a nice rich midrange response.

Yeah, and with my hearing problem, I can’t hear low bass so good, I like more midrange, so the older speakers sound better to me ^^

Those little old speakers sound pretty darn good! Nice bass response for their size.

Classic speakers, and good sound! I have similar looking speakers, most being cheap and sounding not-so-good. I have a couple that have a 5″ speaker, and they are lacking in bass. turn it up and still no bass. It seems the cones on them don’t move easily. Then another pair if this style speakers with 6 1/2″ speakers. They sound horrible, I think the speakers are damaged somehow. Then another pair that accually sound decent.

My Soundesign speakers are like that — they just don’t respond to bass. Old speakers with alnico “box frame” magnets are usually very good. They often sound better than equal size speakers with regular ceramic magnets.
