[AndySlash]

[Simple Torture]

Spinning Smog's "Dongs of Sevotion" today and it sound wonderful.

I'll soon have my fathers old marantz2250b in play so perhaps that and a cartridge upgrade will suit me just fine.

you're going to fucking love that receiver

Funny thing is I grew up listening to it! Had it in high school and ran all my cds' through it . Didnt understand what was going on at the time though. Excited to take care of that bad boy now though!

what speakers do you have for it?

Weak Link I think but I got them cheap when I was starting up my Vinyl adventure

Yeah those will do just fine.

I was mistaken on the model of Marantz. its a 2238b. Researching me now.

I got the A50s for less, but I what I got them for was a fucking steal and a half.

[Norah]

Either way, they sound so fucking good I'd be willing to part with less than 200 dollars for those.

[klehtun]

taking a trip to NYC in a few months, any can't miss shops to check out??

Yea im super tempted to head to Denver and take them off his hands. Payday is coming soon anyway

Sounds like the Marantz i have is just a lower wattage version of some of the higher end marantz's but still the classic sound. Im fine with it.

A 38 watt marantz is going to sound plenty good.

We had $570 in Discover rewards dollars and I ordered 29 records off of Amazon yesterday. A bit OCD.
