These look pretty sweet. I'm assuming all I'd need to do is plug them into an existing amp?

I know this has been covered before, but I don't want to wade through this thread...

I'm finally ditching the Crosley and getting a proper turntable. Assuming I buy these speakers, and I use an old Sony HTIB amp unit, what's a good (read: $200 or less) turntable that can satisfy my simple needs?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Yeah, I just swapped the cables from my old speakers to the new ones. They were already wired up to my receiver.

Mondo just announced a Batman: The Animated Series Vinyl Box Set that will go up for pre-order in November:

So pretty...

So Star Wars . . . I figured this would happen.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I'd love to get that but not for the price they're charging. I already have the Mondo Mr. Freeze 7" that was a SDCC exclusive last year and the die cut Bat shaped 12" plus the three La La Land CD releases so I can't really justify dropping $250 on that set. I'd mostly want it for the covers to potentially frame up but I think I'll just take a chance at an actual print from the series someday (I have one on the way from Mondo and have another from a different artist).

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Spun 3 vinyls this morning:

Metric: Synthetica (I think I like Pagans in Vegas more)
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (fucking phenomenal soundtrack!)
Gone Girl - (awesome score, as well)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Nice. May get that depending on the price as I've been thinking of buying the individual soundtracks for a while. I wonder if they'll be available outside the box set too or not.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I agree. I don't think I can justify that price. But I love the look of the set.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Got the vinyl Bowie set today for 219 locally. My wife says it's my Christms present and I am done for the year!

Also thought I'd show you guys what the system is looking like these days. My dad brought over his new full frame Nikon and 24-70mm lens. Thought I'd get some better pics than my usual iPhone shots.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I can't see anything. ^

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Still showing for me, Blu.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I can't see it either, but I'm still jealous ;)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

LOL @astrochimp

Did another cartridge shot too. I never get tired of doing these.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Nothing. tried it on Safari and Firefox. On Safari I get the ? and I don't get anything on Firefox.

Ah ha! Let me see if I can fix this.

OK fixed I think. And spoilered for size.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

yep, nice! :up:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Yeah it's definitely a nice set and as a huge fan of the show I'd love to own it but it's just a bit too much. If I didn't own all the releases I do I'd be more open to considering it but with everything I already have I don't feel like I need to drop that kind of money on it.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Woah, nice!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Think I'm gonna give these guys a shot and get one of their units.

Question:

Do I really need to upgrade the components? Is a higher-priced cartridge going to make a big difference? What about the platter?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I'd say yes to the upgrades. But if you can only do one, do the platter.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Was at Amoeba over the weekend and scooped up the Trick r treat orange vinyl score. Of course Waxwork announced on their Facebook page that the score would be only $15 from their site. I paid $25 for mine, so whatever.




I preordered the John Carpenter remixed album from Sacred Bones directly and opted for the blue & white swirl limited edition. That one is limited to 150 copies and their deluxe limited edition is limited to 350 copies. I used paypal and used the "pay after delivery" option. That shit comes in handy.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I recently got the reissue of David Bowie Heathen. :up:

Also, the MFSL editions of Miles Davis that have come out recently are ridiculously great. I have most of them now. I still need Round About Midnight, Kind of Blue, Miles In the Sky, and Filles de Kilimanjaro. Highly recommended for jazz fans.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Yeah I need that Kind Of Blue!
