I picked up the parasound zphono thanks to a recommendation from ajxd for around $200 with my new Pro-Ject Carbon and I'm very happy with it! Would definitely recommend it for a new hifi setup in a $250 or under budget for a preamp

Lol same dude! I just bought a warranty for this thing still need money for expenses and records

$15 shipped for Modern Vampires?

looks awesome man! now i just need to grab the acrylic platter (the stock slipmat sucks and creates so much static) and hopefully figure out how to put lights in it

I use In The Groove. Is this a bad way to get rid of small bits of static, dust, etc? http://www.amazon.com/In-The-Groove-Record-Cleaner/dp/B004MG9YYQ

My setup room is painted white and I thought before the purchase it might be too much. When I got it though my god I love it so much

Was going to grab the piano black too, but I'm glad I went with the white one. Got it in less than a week and am loving it so much so far

Looking through the lists over and over and have basically decided I probably won't be picking up anything. Nas single is way overpriced, the MIles represses are overpriced (imo) and the Civil Wars/Lana releases don't really interest me now that much...also In Utero is pretty pricey too. I'd rather have the OG pressing if I was gonna spend that much on that record.

Does it have Bound 2 or not?

Saw some crazy prices on ebay for Flashing Lights, btw

was about to make the same thread! I'm looking for all the pic discs and other singles (aside from paris/otis and power).

dont get what all the hate is about. but sure

nice! is it Born to Die LP or something else?

thank you guys you're all the best! everything is sounding awesome now!

if it's in good condition, that's not a horrible price

Excited for that Nas reissue...price is a little high though.

Is it sealed?

nice jokes, guys. no i am not on this guy's street team or anything. i just heard his new ep recently and really liked it so i decided to share this with you guys. give it a listen and see if you like it for yourselves!

that's the preamp here's what the wiring for the tt looks like and the preamp... this is where everything is plugged in and the speakers... my setup: pro-ject carbon tt parasound zphono pre amp samson mediaone 3a monitors standard auvio rca cables (just got these today at radioshack I got a new tt and preamp in the mail today but ever since I plugged it in with the speakers I've had for almost a year (with zero problems) i've had a horrible buzzing sound. I fiddled around with just about everything and the only thing that gets rid of this buzzing noise is switching a switch on the back of the preamp from MM to MC but when it's on MC the music sounds very compressed and quiet. i posted this in the hi fi for beginners thread as well but that thread is no longer loading on my computer anymore for some reason...plus I figured making a new thread would attract more creative ideas to help me! Thanks in advance to all the masters on this forum!

Not sure what you mean by that but here are some photos if it helps... here's the tt that's the preamp here's what the wiring for the tt looks like and the preamp... this is where everything is plugged in and the speakers... i've fiddled around with just about everything and the only thing that gets rid of the buzzing noise is switching a switch on the back of the preamp from MM to MC but when it's on MC the music sounds very compressed and quiet. any tips at all?

tiny problem with the new setup...I have the zphono and carbon tt hooked up to Samson MediaOne 3a monitors and there is a very loud buzzing noise in the background whenever I try play a record or just keep everything on without a record playing. The sound gets especially loud when I touch the tone arm/top of stylus and when I unplug the wires. I've had these speakers for almost a year with no problems and am using brand new standard rca cables from radioshack. I have no idea what to do! Someone please help!

Just received and set up my Pro-Ject Carbon and Parasound Zphono pre amp shoutout to ajxd and this thread! you guys are the best I'm so stoked!

Just watched the video...oh lord do I need this now! lol thanks so much for the tips dude!

Excited to pre-order the vinyl I dig the cover and the songs so far

There is a similar platter I found online for $100...I might get that one
