    what we REALLY need is Boy Meets World picture disc audio tracks.  An entire episode's audio track per disc. 7 seasons, 158 episodes with 3 variants per season.
     
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm sure they're fine. They just looked so out of place next to the huge, over the top turntable.

    by way of explanation:
     
    Sneed's Old Shredder is a 5/7 Legendary with a Deathrattle that puts a random Legendary into play when it dies.
     
    Unstable Portal is a mage spell that puts a random minion into your hand with a cost reduction. 
     
    Both effects can give you ANY legendary, even class-specific minions that don't belong to your class.
     
    In my case, I used Resurrection on my Sneed's, which "kills" a minion and then brings it back into play, which randomly gave me an Aviana + my Sneed's back and then let me drop Kel Thuzzad (6/8 - all friendly minions that died are brought back into play at end of turn) for 1 mana, which gave me another Sneed's at the end of my turn.  
     
    So...I basically killed off one dude and then filled my board with free Legendaries.
     
    In HIS deck, he's playing a 4 mana spell called Echoes of Medivh that puts a copy of each friendly minion in play into your hand.  So I assume, he got a cheap Aviana and then was able to play minions in his hand for 1 mana each, and then bounce copies back to his hand and play them for 1 as well (including another Aviana).

    If you had to go with one of these speakers which one would be the most recommended? All get favorable reviews and I have to idea what to look for in this aspect. And no I really don't want to spend more at this time, the difference in sound quality wouldn't be that noticeable with my current setup anyways.

    I guess if sound quality doesn't matter, just get the cheapest.

    I had both a PM5004 and PM6004 and didn't really find them to be very different for my purposes.  I mostly played music at a moderate volume in my small living room using somewhat efficient speakers (something like 90db at 6ohms).
     
    THAT SAID.  If you don't care about the DAC, I would go with the Rega Brio 3 linked a page back.

    I think at your price point, you're better off with an integrated amp with a built-in phono input assuming you're willing to shop around and go 2nd hand.  I bought a Marantz PM8004 for $500 shipped and I don't think I could improve the phono stage significantly without stepping up to the $200-$300 range.  If I had spent the same amount of money on a comparable phono preamp and some other integrated, I would be much worse off.
     
    You can always add an outboard phono preamp later down the line.

    There's a distinction to be made between modern-used and vintage.  I'm quicker to recommend a 2nd hand modern component to a novice than vintage.  Audiogon is a good place to look.  Their listings will skew toward the higher end but you can find solid entry-level components there too.  I have personally had good luck on Ebay--look for listings that are from an audio store rather than consumers.
     
    Typically when I sell gear, I list it on Craig's List simply to avoid the cost/risk involved with shipping.  The market may not be great in your area but it's worth keeping an eye out.
     
    EDIT:
     
    Quick look at Audiogon and I see a few integrateds in your range that should smoke those Yamahas.
     
    Cambridge Audio Azure 651A - $350 shipped
    Vincent Audio SV-121 - $399 + shipping (from Canada)
    Peachtree Audio Decco65 - $450 + $38 shipping (auction)

    The 10.1s are fine if you can get them really cheap (sub-$200 for sure).  They have been around for a long time and are currently discontinued.  A lot of the feedback you see online may not take that into account. 
     
    I think that their replacement is the Diamond 220 ($350) and if you're considering something in that range, you might be better served by looking at something 2nd hand.

    The funny thing about Android vs Apple is the fact that Android had every feature the iPhones had at least 5 years before, and no one cared. But when the iPhone gets widgets or a fingerprint scanner, it's huge news. When it's really not. But the blind lead the blind.
     
    My rule of thumb when someone asks which is better, if you don't care about the latest technology and just want to browse the web, make calls and send texts, just get an iPhone. If you're a nerd and want to tweak your phone and have the latest technology, get an Android phone.
