I'm sure I will love the turntable, but by nature I like to tinker/upgrade things. In the future, what would be some worthwhile upgrades to the Essential iii? It already comes with the acrylic platter, would I notice a big difference if I upgraded the cartridge? I don't know your setup but usually a good preamp has the greatest potential for improving the sound. Maybe you can try some preamps to hear the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all their albums but this one is the most enjoyable to play straight through, there aren’t any songs I wish I could skip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Picked up Ringo's Beaucoups of Blues today also, while it's not vinyl related, it fits in here better than anywhere but I found Cheap Trick's super limited 8-track of "The Latest" which i am beyond excited about. I got it for 30 bucks which was the original price. Pretty sure they go for a couple hundred on eBay but there haven't been any on there in at least a couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Picked up Hypnotize by SOAD yesterday. It's not as good as Mesmerize but the last track, Soldier Side, is my favorite SOAD song. Also, I forgot to mention this earlier but I picked up an OP of Led Zeppelin II a few weeks ago Edited January 29, 2019 by Gibson_Guy87 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think off the top of my head I am in for: Cheap Trick - Epic Archives Vol.3 (as a huge trick fan, I LOVE this series) Alice Cooper - Dirty Diamonds John Lennon - Imagine (rough mix) Stones - She's a Rainbow single (I dig the art) I'll probably bite on the stupid 3" player too as a fun novelty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think this is the most I've ever dropped on a record...

Willis1988 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The latest additions to my collection. WP2 is probably my favorite album Duff has been apart of since he first left GNR, and Get Born is one of my favorite 2000s rock n roll albums. Both sound awesome on vinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Went to the record store to pick up a couple of things today. Unfortunately, they didn't have two of the three LPs I wanted. I bought the new Nick Waterhouse while I was there, then I ordered Jackyl - S/T and Keith Richards - Talk Is Cheap from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
