    Not only that but I have quite a collection of late 70's and 80's punk that will never be available on anything but vinyl!
    Of course most of it was on very small indi lables and was ONLY available on vinly!

    You might be surprised at what is out on the net in the shadows. There are people with similar collections as yours who have invested the effort to "rip" the vinyl to digital formats (MP3 for the stuff like punk where fidelity is not an issue and FLAC or APE for the other stuff). Find the right community online, and you may well find that your entire collection plus stuff you never thought you'd ever find is available to download.

    Of course actually downloading it is a federal crime with punishment guidelines that often exceed those for rape and murder...

    all well...

    All's well, but - back to the thread topic all...

    Need input on components to my setup - specifically (now) the table. Got any?

    When I was in Japan they have a SUPER store called Dieechis (sp?). They have an entire floor of audio. Everything from inexpensive to $50,000 mono tube amps. Anyway I remember they had these high end turntables that were mounted in 4-5 inch slabs of marble to make sure they were stable. Pretty sweet stuff. Thats also were I picked up my Nachamichi cassette deck!

    I was just about to close the link when my eye caught "USB output"

    I have never seen that built into any turntable. You can't really go wrong at that price, just remember that it won't play 78's.

    I've purchased a new place with enough room to setup a dedicated listening room, so here it is.


    Corner traps and rug added




    Custom radiator cover made in cherry with flipup end storage


    Couch and heavy drapes to kill reflections off rear window


    New cd rack almost done. The whole wall behind the rack is covered in bass traps.


    The components on 3" walnut racks


    The speakers, and more bass traps
