DUde. Go to page 39 of your manual. Read "Reference Level" info. There is no need to buy a new receiver. You have one... Unless you want two different setups. READ THE MAUAL

I have an Onkyo 7.2 receiver also. I had the same problem as you, where the volume through the aux input was WAY too low. It's actually fixable (In my case). My unit, SR-608, had "Intellivolume." This was an area wher all inputs were set at a relative "0" db, and you could change the 0 to +12 or -12 db. This feature is for setting all inputs to an equall listenning level, and not having to turn the volume way up or down every time you change source. Really i think it creates more of a problem than intelli anything. I also set turned all my speaker levels up a few dbs to make it even more loud, cause changing the intellivlume was just not ear peircing enough. I would think a sub 200$ receiver is not too much of an upgrade from your onkyo, not sure though. What model do you have currently? If the intellivolume fixes the issue i would just use the Onkyo. If you are to buy a dedicated amp for your turntable or sometthing that would be better. It doesnt make sense to buy a receiver for a turntable. You would be paying for a lot of features you don't use for 2 channel analog listenning if you buy a 5.1 receiver...

I forget where i bought my Project Debut III (Just before i found out the carbon was coming out...), but i thought the spindle/platter was bent/off center (Was fixed by resetting and realizing it was 3 records that i listen to alot that where kind of oval). But i called the store and he was more than helpful and contacted pro-ject for me, they were more than happy to help, but i fixed it myself. anyway, the point, The person at that store helping me said he stoped carrying pro-ject projects because he got so many calls about isses, with turntables, speed boxs, and pre amps. He did say they are one of the most popular, but gave them a discredit by saying the quality control was not good enough. He also said they were always great at replacing anything and helping. But he stopped selling there lines because of the headaches.. I love my table, and have not had any problems myself. This did make me think a little though... THis was a very hi end store (AS far as what they sell) so the project line was at the bottum off there list.

I really like this. I plan on getting a second turntable too, and using a MC cartridge. So this is ideal to start out with, and i get to put my hands on skills to work. I wonder if i can still decipher those schematics and refresh enough knowledgs to updgrade some components?

Yeah, the turntable, 12" and 7." Not nearly as good as my turntable but it will make good in my spare room for sexy nights with the ladies under the sheets. Or a good Xmas gift. Im stoked though!

I WON! Thanks guys!

This thread needs some negativity. Thanks!

This stuff is pretty awesome! I have a question. Do you have a picture of that sweet 45 adapter clock with #s? Are the #s cut from vinyl i take it? Please let me know as i am interested in that along with tsome other stuff. Thanks

I was reading that about half the songs a all compressed, and this this should have been a 2xLP. I forget the details but it basically clips because it was recorded with the gain cranked up...

If ya can hook a brotha up. I would like to be that brotha! Yo

If somone was smart they could have either bought them on the DL for their record store and or eBay store. You could really make a killing and charge decent prices. Just an off the wall thought. that's all

I did some more research and the latest DSOTM was pressed in the US and somewhere foreighn. Lot's of complaints and issues from the US pressing. Scuffs, pops, etc... Hopefully i get a good DSOTM. I'm seeing nothing but rave reviews for WYWH, which is in accordance with my original assumptions.

That was my bad. It was "sourced" from the orginal master tapes according to musicdirect. I was just recalling what i remembered reading. The Wish You Were Here repress is what got me on this repress kick of these. I would like to get original EMI pressings and compare. I'm just recently really getting into many records and sound quality. I agrea the mastering is more important, and i was implying that better quality record and better quality pressing usually go hand in hand. I have Meddle from EMI pressing that i found in my dad's collection. It is amazing how that sounds. So i can beleive the originals of the other floyd LPs would be damn good. I am now on the hunt. I read some more reviews anout the latest DSOTM pressing and some say it's better than the 30th, and some do not. I think i will pick it up from that Hot Topic sale It'll be about 15$ shipped cause i got a 10$ gift card for 5$ so it's a good price. Do you have an opinion/ have you heard of the other Floyd represses (Wall, WYWH)? you only mention DSOTM. Is there much to compare them to besides the original (Wall, WYWH)? It seems there are many that would agrea with DSOTM, as that was the first of the re-issues. Was it the same people who remastered the 30th ann. as the latest? Sax / Gunthrie? Packaging is super nice though.

That's about right. The "audiophile" and "180 gram" thing is becoming a bit of a marketing tool. THough most 180 gram pressingare i my opinion are better from my experience. It jueust seems to have a better, more full/ solid sound. Lighter vinyl can definetely suind pretty good too so it's not a deciding factor. I would also think that if a band / label were to press something on 180g (More money) they would be putting more effort in the actual mastering / editing. It also matters who mixes the the recording. Is it "Master from original analog tpape" and by whome. I don't know names of who are good but most 180 gram true repress (Remastered from og tapes) i have are amazing. What mainly comes to mind is the new pressing of pInk Floyd's Wall, Wish you Were HEre, and Dark Side of the moon. The reveiws are off the chart on those things. I bought Wish You Were Here for 28$ at Hot Topic cause i was itchin for a vinyl fix. When spun theat haevy peice of wax it blew my mind the clarity, "soundstage" as they call, and the surface is so freekin quite. I quickly understood why it cost my near 30$ (Also included some super heavy stock sleaves, poster, postcrd, download car). I then did some research on why it was so damn good. I found the reviews saying "Re mastered from original analog tapes" "Dead silent surface noise" "high quality german vinyl" which was pressed at the EMI plant i beleive. So that summed it up. I Then bought The Wall (Frikin expesive) and am not disapointed at all. Worth every penny if you're gonna keep this in excellent shape and blow your friends (The ones that aren;t too cool for Floy) and parents (My dad couldn.t beleive he was hearing such goodness< he sad "Man, this just sounds so damn good") and i have gotten many compliments on my setup (Which i return to say "it's really the vinyl" even though i got a pretty good setup. polk monitor 70s (100 watt's per channel and fake bi-amped out of my Onkyo receiver, and Klipsch RW 12".) I am waiting for Hot Topic Cash to get Dark Side (I have the 25th anniversy edistion and can only imagine the difference, based on Wall and Shine). To get it at a steal. Also, i wam pretty dissapointed on my flimsy Tomahawk vinyl where it probably is aroun 100 grams and the holes had to by cdug out with my knifr to fit the record player. And the bass less songs on their newest alsbumb. The CD makes my system go BOOM but the vinyl falls flat. Very disspointed. BS. Maybe mike patton is so in the digital age there's no point in trying to put his stuff on vinyl, hence why you don't see much. (Totally fine with that) Also, neil youg does some insane quality, and pricey, represses. Then new Sixto Repress is pretty darn good too, especially for 18.99 from my local record store. There seems to be the just put it on vinyl and color some copies and the kids will buy it crowd, and then the i want it mastered for vinyl and good quality crowd. I used to be obsessed with collecting and colors and what not but since i've got a good table and system i would much rather have my 180g black copy. I've been selling colored copies of NOFX for hundred, turn around and buy it baclk on black plus a few more records. I love it! Well sorry for rambling. And no spell check I
