thanks everyone. waking up at 7:00 on saturday mornings is really worth it sometimes. i got the sony speakers and the turntable from the same guy for $20. and i always find records on the cheap.

i am moving to a new place with private roof access pretty soon. so be on the lookout for a new configuration and a rooftop garden/patio speaker system.

Cool room. I like it. The King Crimson is a nice touch. It's a shame to waste some of the old album art hidden away in a milk crate.

You've a great start now to becoming an audio junkie! I too enjoy looking for old vinyl!
