Last night I tried hooking up the turn table in living room. No love. Thought the outputs weren’t working. Today I took the day off hooked it up my old stereo in the basement and it works!!!!!!!

Sounds like you need a preamp. Did you hook it into the "phono" input of the downstairs unit?

Like everyone else is saying today, mine is now set to arrive on Monday, 2/21. So I'm expecting it around 2/28.

Yep, pretty much.

Monday is Presidents’ Day

we all fucked 🤣

Mail is exceedingly random these days.  USPS delivers mail sometimes on Sunday at my house. No idea why but it’s happened a few times (mainly November/December)

UPS and FedEx deliver Saturdays stuff that normally isn’t a Saturday delivery item 

Must be Jerry doing Newman's route again...

I’ve got Fresh Press and vault 1 in “Fontana CA”.  

oh UPS mail innovations to Canada is always an interesting adventure. 

But really, how quickly a record arrives to my house is the least of my problems. My dad taught me to have patience.  Good things come to those who wait

I have to admit patience is not my strongest attribute.

I’m in the exact same situation orders and destinations. And struggling to apply those teachings 😬

I have to admit it’s not mine either… but dad’s voice is always in my head seemingly 😂
I think it is almost like a patience “muscle” that I have to keep flexing or else, let’s face it, I would be an infuriating complainer to those around me.

The last few years of buying records has beaten the impatience out of me. I used to obsessively track shipments and get angry when other people were getting theirs before me. Now I (mostly) just don’t give a shit and am often surprised when I come home to find a vinyl mailer on my porch.

Shipment Ready for UPS

Maybe one of these days...

So glad to hear it’s working! 🙌🏻 How is it sounding? 

RS65573

It sounds pretty good I think. I could use some new speakers.

Is there a large impact on sound in the type of receiver? Does a Preamp alleviate some of that need?

I have a different older receiver in the basement, I could switch to that, but those speakers suck too.

I just checked tracking. Says 2/22 in NJ. So much for street week. Don’t get me wrong, glad I got one but anxious to spin it
