The remix is night and day from the original SST release.  Beautiful packaging and interesting liner notes if you're into that kind of thing.

I pre-ordered Odelay and Sea Change from Amazon in October.  Both arrived on Friday and Amazon refunded me a dollar because the current price for Odelay is less than when I ordered it.  Both records sound great.

I have a u-Turn Audio Turntable.  For the foreseeable future I will be using an Onkyo HT S5100 to power the speakers.  Speakers are a pair of NHT 2.9s.

Hi I'm new to all of this stuff.  I've read through a lot of this post and there is some great info so thank you very much.

Question: I need a phono preamp.  I was going to buy the u-Turn but I don't want to wait for the week or so it will take.  What are your opinions on the Emotiva Audio XPS-1 Phono Preamp?  Amazon can have it here in a couple of days but that's not the best reason in the world to buy an amp.  However, a friend of mine says it is pretty solid.
