Open excel. Type "=ROUND((RAND() * y) + 1,0)", where y is the number of records you own. Random record selection.

monsterrod got a reaction from tokimedo in Limit new user capabilities?
I like the post count restriction. I didn't start posting new threads until I had a couple hundred posts under my belt because I wanted to make sure I had a good grasp on how things worked around here before going all out. Maybe when you hit 200 posts or leave Thrift Store 7" land do you get to start new threads. If nothing else, it'll encourage more action in the small talk thread and I enjoy reading that one and getting to "know" you make-believe Internet folks.

Much like eating shit, then shitting out that shit, then eating that shit which is made up of the shit that was previously eaten.

monsterrod reacted to thirdfromthesun in Where to start?
Alright, so I think I put together a system for you that falls into that price range. You're going to need four components; a turntable, a receiver/amplifier, a phono stage, and a pair of speakers. To make things easier for me, I chose all new equipment because I know you'll be able to buy them wherever you are. If you find a nice pair of speakers or turntable near you that is cheaper, by all means go for that. These are just suggestions.
For the turntable, I picked out the Project Debut Carbon. I have last year's Debut, which was before they implemented the carbon arm, and I absolutely love it. It was considered one of the two best tables for that price range, and now that they've improved the arm it's even better. By the way, it comes in a ton of colors. I have the blue and really like it, but pick whatever you want. $400.
If this is going to be a separate system only powering a turntable, you're going to be able to save quite a bit on the amp. From what I hear, Emotiva makes great amps for the money, and their mini-X a-100 would be perfect for a small setup. Their winter sale is going on right now, so it's $40 off, bringing it to $180. If you ever need to expand it, you can buy a preamp later on to add more sources (like the radio, cd player, tape deck, etc.) If you are trying to have other things hooked up to this, let me know and I'll try to find something else.
Your phono stage is what connects your turntable to the amp. Cambridge stuff is generally regarded as pretty good, and the Azur 540p would fit into your budget at only $100.
Speakers are a little tough at this price point, but you can definitely get a solid pair of bookshelves. If you want floorstanders, you're probably going to have to buy used though. I would either get the PSB Image B4s at $330 a pair or Klipsch RB-41 II at $300 a pair. Personally I prefer the PSBs, but a lot of people enjoy Klipsch's unique sound, due to the horns they use for tweeters.
This brings it to right around $1000, which I understand is the upper limit of your price range. You're also going to need cables and wires which shouldn't cost more than $25. Make sure you don't buy Monster or anything else that claims to be special, just go to http://www.monoprice.com and get however much speaker wire you need and 2 pairs of banana plugs (these are optional, but make things a bit easier)
Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

Dislike Anti-Flag but love bacon. I'm conflicted. Will probably buy.
