Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks!  
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
I have to add this.  I bought a Technics SL 1200 MK2 for $600 that came with a Zu Audio Denon DL-103.  The cartridge sounded like crap and at first I thought it was just a bad match with the turntable, so I put something else on and put the Zu in ...

@dhite71 Where did you see preorder availability for Clapton Unplugged? 
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
