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

http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Monito ... 0+II+floor


Suggestions?
Yeah those will do just fine.
I was mistaken on the model of Marantz. its a 2238b. Researching me now.

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

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.

Yeah...it was possible because of that awesome Discover promotion that got us $500. It's gonna be a long, long time before I take in a haul like that again.

Is the fact that my slipmat keeps getting statically clung to my LPs when I take them off the table any cause for concern?

Recent purchases:

Nirvana - "Unplugged"
Alice In Chains - "Unplugged"
Beck - "Morning Phase"
Pixies - "Bossanova"
Jimi Hendrix - "The Jimi Hendrix Concerts"
Soundgarden - "Badmotorfinger"
Dispatch - "4-Day Trials"
Dispatch - "Who Are We Living For?"

I also pre-ordered the "Definitely Maybe" reissue and the new Eels record.

No, it's just a shitty slip mat. Mine is shitty too and does the same thing. I need to upgrade my mat.
