Anyone know where to get a record player? I tried finding a new one at bestbuy/radioshack/circuit city but they are all combined with a cd player/radio/mp3.

You can't go wrong with a Technics 1200.

Because I'm old school like that.

Try calling goodwill stores... no joke, I saw some while looking for another mythical beast from the past... a VCR

ebay

also, with many of these options you can get a much better deal if you're willing to buy your own cartridge etc

yeah i really want a good record player too... my dad as a phenominal record collection and all of that stuff sounds better than the digitally re-fucked up stuff you get on cds where you can no longer hear fingers moving on guitar strings etc.

I think Best Buy may still sell some models. If not, they recently came out with those MP3 transfer players. I'm sure they also work normally.

i got an ars technica model that is suitable for my use from circuit city (in greenville, nc) a couple of years ago. i've seen it since in other locations i believe. i've also seen a sony model that is identical to it (but more expensive) at best buy.

mine is preamped and has L/R phono outputs.
