My test pressing signed and limited album signed. Very happy to own these.

Nice additions!

Just got Father John live at Rough Trade records and Zeppelin Coda 3lp

I caved on The Beatles In Mono box and bought a slightly used copy, and thought "what the hell?" better make it the whole set and added Yellow Submarine, Abbey Rd and Let It Be.

Also got the Black Crowes reissues and The Band's Music From Big Pink MoFi pressing.

Next on the list is a tt upgrade.

Nice, what turntable are you thinking on?

I'm thinking a Pro-next Debut Carbon, but I'm open to suggestions and pointers.

Also....coupon code Jan1650 for 25% at ccmusic....tons of good vinyl and music DVDs/blurays

Maybe this should be a support group for vinyl addicts?

It is already, we support each other by saying... "Great record there!" Etc..

So you're basically saying that we're all enablers then?

My name is ____ and I have a vinyl problem!

Yep, enable me, I don't give a fuck..

Yeah, I meant Pro-ject....I've been reading a lot of reviews and it seems those 2 are pretty close and the Rega is a bit more expensive.

Also found the U-turn Orbit. I remember their Kickstarter campaign from awhile back. Now it looks like you can get a slightly better table than the Pro-ject and Rega, but who knows how the product support will be in a year or 2, let alone 5-10 years. How hard would it be to source parts if they go out of business?

What's everybody recommend for a phone pre? Tube or solid state? Anybody built one? I bet there can be a lot of bang for the buck going that route.

Tube...definitely

If u have the money go Tube.

Cool...I figured that would be the case.

Not sure I have the dough for that, right now. Would you guys go with a tt that has a built in switchable pre or find a cheaper standalone?

If you don't have the $ for a preamp right now, go with a switchable and you can always turn it off when you upgrade to the tube preamp.
BUT
if your receiver/amp already has a phono input, then you don't have to worry about the switchable on-board preamp.- save the cash and get a model without it.

Here Come The Warm Jets. The best one! (IMO)

And I just won the auction!!!!
An EX+/EX+ 1st UK pressing!! ..... okay, it cost me $65 CAD (about $45 USD I think) - fuck that Canadian dollar right now. Ugh, it's tanking so bad; just awful for us poor Canucks. But I am SO excited about this album!! And it was one of those fun auctions too, with a bunch of people strategically bidding at the end, lol. Those auctions get my heart racing, lol. Please, someone tell me they relate to that.

I used to do that, but I lost too much.
now I just snipe the one's that I REALLY want.
that is how I got my pre-amp at a good price.
