Hello everyone,

I ended up buying a GNR turntable (Pro-Ject audio essential iii) new in box off ebay.

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

Grabbed a couple of things from the record store this morning:

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On (Mobile Fidelity, One Step, 2LP Pressing)
Rival Sons - Feral Roots
Heart - Live In Atlantic City

I’m loving Feral Roots, I got the pink vinyl version from their web store. It kicks ass!

I spun it straight through last night. Probably their best overall album.

Right now I have to agree! 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

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.

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

I wore out my original copy years ago... I actually have like 8 different copies of AFD on vinyl now :lol:

 

@RussTCB what do you think of the Nathaniel Rateliff album? Did you get the one with the bonus 7"?

Got the bonus version, yeah. I really like this album a lot.

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.

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.

This album is so awesome… I love every track on it. 

Saw the LP at the record store the other day but passed on it. I need to stream that and the new Tesla before I commit to buying either.
