Oh yeah I could see that. I'm wanting an actual vintage record player but the more I think about it, the more I just want one that is going to work for me guarenteed.

Apparently, it's a remake from the 90's of an older model, which is fine with me because it will be that much easier to fine parts. It still looks amazing and sounds even better than it looks. Definitely hook yourself up with one of these; you'll never be the same.

All be damned, JCPennys? I'll have to take a little gander in there some time. Sounds like a good deal. Haha, yeah, this record player experience has changed me forever. Can never go back to just randomly clicking songs in itunes. Just not even the same ball game.

....If you live in a big city there's probably several places that sell records--the punk/independent record stores, and the the vintage places. Records sales are actually trending up because they're about as practical as the cd now but much prettier and better sounding than a cd, so a lot of old **** is being reissued.

Yeah, I like the sound of an actual vintage one, thats what I would really like, but I just don't have the money to blow on wrenching around on it all the time. I think I'm just gonna get one like what you are talking about, like at Sears or JCPennys. Well, unfortunatly I live out in the middle of the prairie, so finding ANYHING is a challenge for me, but I'm sure there are a few places around here I could come up with some albums. Thanks for the info good buddy.
