If there any music lovers out there who don't own a turntable and a nice sound system to accompany it, I have to highly recommend.

Wife and baby are out of the house this afternoon and it happens to be a day I have off. Going through my record stash and it is so satisfying. The revenge of analog.

Yeah, something about going through my records, cutting down on the crappy ones, and listening to the great ones... it's just the best. I don't have a very good system but it sounds fine. I plan to get a high quality system in the future. Also:

So glad I finally invested in a turntable, as I had a ton of old records from my parents.

Forgive me if this is out of line, but Trevor is marrying way up. To the point where it's almost like Kovi lost a bet or something... :naughty:

I don't think it's out of line, but you need to come to grips that Trevor just didn't want to be with you any longer.

Alas, we had no shot with the Kovster as we are mere fourth liners and she found her Bergeron. :laugh:

I need to get one. There's so much old music i want on LPs, cds sometimes just don't feel right.

I had an old 70's Pioneer receiver kicking around so I didn't have to invest on that end. Sounds great, has a nice warm sound to it, love it.

For speakers I bought a pair of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NCD2S4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and for the turn table, as much as I was trying to find something vintage, I ended up buying a U-Turn Audio Basic in white about two years. Can't beat the quality for $180, plus they are local if you're from the Boston area.

Since then, I've upgraded the platter from the default plastic one, to an acrylic, and upgraded my cartridge as well.

I've probably pillaged about 100+ records from my parents as well which has been awesome. My mom still somehow had a pristine copy of Revolver, which is probably my all time favorite Beatles record that just sounds so freaking amazing.

Living in Atlanta now. It's 90+ with 90% humidity everyday. You stand in line inside national brand fast food restaurants for 20+ minutes to get to the front of line, no one helps you for 20+ minutes at the front of the line, and then you go somewhere else and start over.

The national brand hotel's wi-fi was down for 3 days so Sean and I could do nothing even though our PS4 is hooked up to Playstation Vue, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and gaming and we have 3 laptops and 2 cell phones. There are no facilities such as a bar, gym, pool, or restaurant. You have to request weekly maid service and you have to take dirty laundry to the front desk to get clean laundry. You have to say hello and hope there's someone there, because they don't sit at the front desk and they're not always in the office. The lock on the back door is broken so we have to walk the long way every time we come in. It's the best of the 3 hotels we've stayed at.

We had to make 3 trips to a store that is a national brand today, because their phone is broken. The lanes on the roads change direction w/o warning and sometimes there are 2 turn lanes turning one way and only 1 lane to go straight and turn the other way. Some mall exits are steep hills so you can't see if a car is going to hit you. This is where they send former Bruins fans who convert to Habs fans. :( :cry:
