It's an addiction. I've always been obsessed with music. I've got roughly 18k sounds on my iTunes (most of which I bought). But if you think about it, with one crash of the harddrive, all of that will be gone. Just thinking that if I take care of my records I'll be able to give them to my kids (like my parents did for me) makes me very happy. And very possessive. I've spent too much money on vinyl records already and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Haha. Still have a lot of my favorites to get.

Thanks guys! I'm still riding the high. After collecting 52 records (30 I inherited from my parents collection), it was about time. Haha.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you. I found this website a couple months ago and had no idea that it'd be a place that I feel at home. I can nerd out over my favorite records, talk about equipment, and just have an overall great time. Thanks to all the people that helped me. Yesterday I picked up a Pioneer PL-10 for $95. It came with a brand new belt, stylus, and cartridge. Although some people would say that I paid too much, it's in mint condition and I'm very happy about it. I can't wait to start exploring the world of high(er) end cartridges and styluses. Thanks again guys! Couldn't have done it without you. - Chris

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

Acrobatic tenement please!!!

Awesome! Thank you for all of the help. Do you think that you could give me a couple suggestions on cartridges and styluses to buy for each? Just so I can see about the availability on both tables? I'd rather not spend $100-$150 on a table and then find out later that I have to spend an arm and a leg for a replacement part.

Does the PL-12D II have an automatic "tone arm return" feature like the Dual 1209 does? That's a big thing that I enjoy about the Dual. Also, can you manually put the needle on the record with the Dual or is it automatic only (stupid question, sorry)?

Ya, $38 is a little out of my price range for a double LP. I love this album but I'm still saving to get the Right Away Great Captain trilogy and the Dance Gavin Dance 6 LP set coming soon. Guarantee that'll be a heavy hit to my wallet.

The first question is the most important***

I found a nice Dual 1209 for $100 and Pioneer PL-12D II for $50 (needs a new belt). I don't know which to buy, but also I was wondering if someone could help me in terms of information about each table. Here are my main questions: 1. Can I upgrade the cartridge and needle/stylus to something better later on when I have more money? If not, how hard is it to find replacement parts with the exact ones that I need? 2. Are these tables worth the money they're being sold for? 3. In terms of condition of the tables, what questions should I ask the seller? The first question is the Thanks guys!

I'm not quite sure. I just saw it on modern vinyl and decided to share with you guys. http://modern-vinyl.com/2013/07/17/elephant-gets-additional-10th-anniversary-pressing/

10 year anniversary pressing. Can't find any information about color of the record but it will be 2 12" LPs. Cheers! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BV9RZSO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BV9RZSO&linkCode=as2&tag=modernvinylco-20

Wow thanks for all the advice. I think I'm probably going to wait and keep checking them. I live in Orlando, FL, but I haven't been able to find much recently. I can also travel to Tallahassee and Gainesville, or get stuff from Knoxville (sister lives there and comes down frequently). What exactly should I be looking for in a table? Are there certain brands/models that are good starter tables? My budget is capped at $150-$200, so i feel like I should be able to find a decent one that will last awhile. I have an entire audio setup and the last thing I need is a table. Just wish I could get a good deal on one already. Lol. Sadly, the closest I'll be to Charlotte is Knoxville. I would definitely be interested in maybe setting something up.

Anyone?

Hey guys, I've been looking to buy a turntable for a couple months now and haven't found a good one for a decent price. I've been searching eBay and found a Pioneer PL-15D II for $180 plus $30 shipping. It's sounds like a lot of money but it's in MINT condition and the guy says that it plays great. To me, it looks like a great table although it seems a bit over priced. I've been people talking about get really great deals for $30-$60 on tables but I haven't had any luck. I've checked all over the internet. So the question is, what do you guys think of it? Should I buy it? If $180 is too much, how much is a reasonable offer for a table like this one? Thanks for all the help guys. You've always got my back when I need it! http://www.ebay.com/itm/370855284167?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Chris

These prices...Lol. I've been looking for the Drive OST for awhile now, but there's no way I can afford to spend $80 on it. Cheers mate!

PM'd!

I just felt like that entire style and flow of the album wasn't "Dance Gavin Dance." I've been a fan since the beginning. All of the people saying, "Happiness was the best album" (that I know in person) say that because that was their first album. They think Kurt is God. I think he was phenomenal on Death Star, but I just couldn't get into Happiness at all. I really hope Tillian can hold his own and make the album something special. Jon Mess is amazing though. Lol. Love that guy.

Definitely going to be buying this one. I hated happiness and I'm sure this album will be in the same boat. But "Whatever I Say", "DBM," and "DGD" changed my life. And "DBM2" was pretty great as well. I won't be missing out on this like I did Right Away, Great Captain's box set.

PM'd!

That's a good man right there. I would buy this in a heart beat if I had the money. I know someone is going to be really happy about this!

Got mine in yesterday. Looks and sounds phenomenal! Easily worth the $30. Now I just need to get my hands on Say It Like You Mean It
