A co-worker gifted me a SY/Beck split 7" that I had no idea existed. Can't wait to play it.

and they're only curated picks, not vmp exclusives, that can be found elsewhere for less. amazon has 1999 for $29. target has their own sign o' the times exclusive for $32.tragabigzanda wrote:Three Prince albums just went live on VMP: Controversy, 1999, and Sign O’ the Times (all three available as a bundle).

Re: The Vinyl Thread: Still Listen On Wax, Don't Use The CD
Alright i need some advise. Pretty much decided that i've got some money to burn (and time on my hands) so i'm going to get a setup and start collecting.
Some very basic question about a setup...
The turntable i'm looking at right now does not have a preamp. For the time being at least i'm planning on hooking it up to my a/v receiver (Denon AVR-S950H). The receiver has phono inputs but from what i gather these are probably garbage and i'm going to want a preamp. Assuming i go this route, and run the turntable thru a preamp then into the receiver i assume i dont end up using the phono stereo inputs but should use another stereo rca input on the receiver?

I would probably try the phono inputs first, if they're rubbish and you get a preamp - run them through one of the other inputs - otherwise the sound will be rubbishThurman Murman wrote:Alright i need some advise.

Re: The Vinyl Thread: Still Listen On Wax, Don't Use The CD
Thanks! Are the phono inputs on these a/v receivers ever any good? I assume they would mostly be ignored.Rangi Guy wrote:I would probably try the phono inputs first, if they're rubbish and you get a preamp - run them through one of the other inputs - otherwise the sound will be rubbishThurman Murman wrote:Alright i need some advise.

Sorry - when I was using a preamp, it was a shitty cheap thing. These days I'm using the phono inputs since upgrading my receiverThurman Murman wrote:Thanks!

Somehow only just added Nevermind to my collection today. I have had 2 copies of In Utero for years, but never pulled the trigger on this for some reason.
