Well, I've gone and done some upgrading.
vintage Dual 1246 turntable. BOY oh BOY was this a huge upgrade over the Aiwa. It sounds GREAT. Its got a stanton 881s cartridge, which is epic. I have another one I think, hidden away for when i need a new stylus. I took it apart and cleaned the bottom out completely and regreased everything. The automatic start doesn't work correctly anymore, but I think thats due to a small piece of plastic in the arm. I don't know much about repairing turntables, so I have no pictures of any of this. My old man helped me through it.
Latest acquisitions. Sabbath's Master of Reality and Paranoid, early 70s Dutch pressings, Remastered 180g Rust in Peace, Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antenna to Heaven, an original pressing of Offspring - Ignition (spelling mistake on the vinyl and everything!), and The Bluetones - Return to the Last Chance Saloon. THAT one was fucking hard to find. It was only pressed in the UK, and every copy I was finding was like, $50 plus shipping. Then I checked MusicStack.com and found a copy in Japan. cost me $20 bucks shipped. This is easily one of my favorite albums, ever. I was so stoked.
And the last one:
So. Fucking. Good. I love Explosions in the Sky, and this is by far my favorite record of theirs. Epic from start to finish. Also, great sex music.

I buy vinyl sometimes, but I have no record player 
I just know that generally artists get a bigger profit when you buy vinyl as opposed to another medium, and most of the time they come with a free digital download anyway.

gg on Ignition, it's often overlooked but it's a classic

Well, I'm sure we could get you set up with a decent system for vinyl for not a whole lot of money if you want.
Also, I couldn't agree more on Ignition. Everyone just screams about Smash when it comes to that era, and forgets all about Ignition. Not that Smash was bad (come on, the best selling indie record EVER isn't going to suck), but Ignition is killer from start to finish as well.
I don't have a job right now because of school (which is super expensive), so my hubs is the only breadwinner right now, and he doesn't much value music, let alone the music I'd listen to on it
Once I graduate and get a jerb and stuff I'll probably set something up. I grew up listening to my parents' records. I shouldn't even be spending money on records, but I am a sucker for good music, and especially bands where I know the $ will actually make its way to the artist.
i've tried many times to get into god speed... but it just doesn't do it for me./ EITS is one of my favorites, especially that album. Saw them live in Austin 2 years ago... by far one of the most powerful concerts i've been to. Definitely worth the balcony seating.
first page, and previous page. its mostly just a hobby for me. closest thing i have a "passion" for is music, and i don't have the patience or creative juices to learn an instrument.
i'll "upgrade" to something vintage some day
