I know there was a topic of discussion on @U2, so thought that I'd start one here.
Been buying records for about 30+ years (and sometimes selling on Discogs). I finally decided to get a good turntable after years of thrift store finds and low-end models.
Now playing a U-Turn Audio Orbit Custom w/ white plinth, basic MDF platter, cue, and Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. Running it through a vintage mid-1970s Pioneer 8 track/receiver.
First records played on it were Pop, followed by Zooropa, followed by Achtung Baby, followed by Depeche Mode - Violator, Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes and a Public Enemy RSD picture disc from a few years back.
I tried out a copy of Badfinger - Straight Up that I had picked up a few years back as a 50 cent room find. Had cleaned it up (previously it was caked in dried mud). It sounded gorgeous!
So, what's your setup and what are you playing on it?
