2024 was the year I finally set up my turntable system – but has it been worth it?

Rega Planar 3 turntable and Ruark MR1 speakers on wooden cabinet.

I didn't have the right shelf or cabinet; I couldn't get the right speakers or amplifier even if I did get a turntable; there wasn't enough space for everything; it wouldn't look right. Because of my work and having looked at so many lovely images on Instagram and on our forums of beautifully arranged and properly kitted out vinyl systems, it made me feel like my set-up would always be lacking.
