Everybody gets +1s
 
And thanks for all the help, slinch!  I was just being a bugger with my pms towards the ends because I was flip-flopping. All in all, I went $75 over my budget, but I think it will be absolutely worth it.
 
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon White: $325
Epos Epic 1s Cherry: $250 
Marantz pm6004 Black: $499
 
Can NOT wait to set this up and see what I have been missing.

That is a great deal on the carbon.  Can't wait to hear your review.

I bought my marantz pm 5004 thru the warehouse deals. Saved 200+ and luve it. However the unit switches to standbye on its own ever so often. Prawlly why it was returned. No big deal to me...annoys the wife very much.

I once ordered a graphics card from the warehouse thing and someone had returned their old card in the new cards box - I called amazon and they took care of it though so it was just inconvenient. 

I bought the same amp (amazon warehouse for $190) and it does the same thing.  I think that if you don't touch the volume or any of the controls for x amount of time, it goes into standby for power saving.  At least that's what mine seems to do.  Pretty sure it's designed that way. Not really much of a bother.

I picked up a used TT from the Amazon Warehouse that was in fantastic shape.  I was nervous as well but glad I decided to take the plunge.

I typically buy warranties when they are offered if I can't fix the item myself.  In the few of the instances that I have had to used a warranty they have more than paid for themselves.  I guess it depends on how much risk you are willing to assume.

Thanks dude!
 
It's those little mental differences haha, for $100 I was willing to waive the peace of mind, but when it came out to pretty much 60-70 bucks different for 3 years of coverage and a brand new item versus a "like new" used item... it was a no brainer.
 
Still hate spending that much dough, but after $1,075 I have a whole new system that I can't wait to set up.

Bought the same one as well. Absolutely love it and have had no problems.

Sounds reasonable

Hey rooks, just saw your PM about this (sorry, I've been kind of off lately)...
 
Great choice! Warehouse deals are great, but when the difference is so small like in this case, getting a brand new one is a better idea, unless of course you cannot extend the budget. But since you got some insanely incredible deals on the other pieces, I guess you can bite the bullet
 
Congrats on all the purchases, now the fun is really starting!

I'd personally do the same thing, the extra $70 is worth it for piece of mind and additional coverage in case something does happen.
Great choice on the amp

Just ordered a white for $324 shipped    

Now we're talkin. Good one!

Pretty impressive right??

If you're going to -1 this, perhaps you should tell me why so I learn what's OK and what isn't OK to post here. As opposed to having me just dismiss it as a frivolous response by some bitter jackanapes hiding behind a cloak of anonymity. 

What are your best? I have a few.

You guys are both legitimate people and something shitty happened. Split the loss 50/50, and move on. Malone isn't a store.

YOU BEEN CALLED OUT, SON!
 

You are a fucking joke. If I owned a label or distro I would refund every purchase you tried to make. Grow up, shit happens. Your attempt at sounding like a hard ass just makes you look like a damn fool.

No FUN up in here, haha.

The joys of what.cd
