My first table was a Rotel rp1100q. It was manufactured in Japan by CEC and I never had any problems with it. They are solid and that's the same price I paid for mine.
Those are passive speakers, you need an amplifier to power them. The Lepai TA2020 is solid and around 20 bucks on Amazon. I'd also keep that preamp and use it. I'm sure it's much better than the one built in that table.
Yeah there are definitely some cringe worthy lyrics in a lot of the songs. The album is super catchy and a fun listen. Don't think it'll last long though.
Was on Google trying to find out about some Dgd and Secret Band stuff on vinyl and it brought me here. Been lurking for a while now I'm finally posting lol.
