Vinyl isn't dead yet...

What am I missing with this thing when I think "Wait, can't you just get something for $50 at IKEA that does the exact same thing?"

After years of having makeshift areas for my record player, I finally pulled the trigger on this. Definitely a bit pricey, but I think it will finally resolve my ongoing record player location issues.

That is pretty badass. I'm definitely fighting off an urge to impulse buy this.

Yeah…I followed the kickstarter for weeks/months and finally pledged and got a small discount.

If it was $300, I would have already ordered it. That last $100 is making me think about this for 24 hours first haha.

Should you be logged into the James Ford account?

So any opinion from the platter enthusiasts on the board of this rig
$400 for a proper build is not too bad

I apologize if this has been posted in here before.

a lot of truth to that.. a lot of baloney….

it certainly has gotten harder and we all miss how things were 10 years ago when people laughed at the idiocy of buying vinyl…as we bought all the vinyl we could find..

now things have flipped entirely.. the deals are in CD.. amazing buys in CDs… vinyl has gotten a lot harder..

Clicked on it, saw that turtleneck/blazer combo. I clicked that tab closed before he'd even started talking and I already knew I had seen enough to agree with you without any reservations.

stopped by the Arlington cd cellar yesterday.. boy I am bummed it is closing…

I picked up Joy Division's UK Factory LP with textured cover… I'd have to say its one of my 100 favorite records.. I never pass up a copy..

Thanks for heads up. Grabbing some of those GBV vinyls.

New Technics turntable… Not cheap.

Panasonic claim it will be worth it, with new features including a coreless motor that eliminates vibrations that troubled the older version and high-precision rotary positioning sensors that reduce interference. We&#039;ll find out when they are released this coming summer.

I ofttimes wish that I had never sold my 1200s.

That's supposed to be a special edition while a mass-produced version will come out later, price unknown.

Thats good news. I've been looking to get an AT turntable but will wait to see the price point on those first.

I acquired this to play through the Amazon Echo.
