I really can not wait to have the Thorens paid for and in my possession! It will be my first new turntable since I purchased my last new one back in 1987 when I purchased a Onkyo Integra CP-1055F II. I want to listen to my records so bad I can taste it!
Might take longer to save up for the turntable the way my employer is messing with my hours! Hope it doesn't take to long to replace my part time job with a full time job that actually pays me halfway decent!
One of my neighbors that is getting ready to move though I might be able to use this but I think I am just going to have to end up leaving it at an electronics waste round up. It was all in a box and the tow large units where still in there plastic wrap. I don't think there is any use for a audio compressor on my home theater so I see no reason to keep it. It was nice for my neighbor to think of me though!
Upgrades are on hold till hours at work improve to the point where I can actually afford to save money for my upgrades or finding another job that is actually full time employment!

Now my 4K UHD Blu-ray library is up to 26 titles and growing! Come on Disney lets see some Star Wars on 4K UHD and Pirates Of The Caribean 4K transfers!
I guess it is a good thing I do not have the money because Costco has a 70" Samsung 4K UHD TV for $1,349.99 and it would look nice between my Altec A-7's! Then I would have to relocate the a/v rack and run a longer HDMI to the tv.
