Just wanted to say, that as a collector and life-long fan, I currently have multiple copies of everything DA has ever put out on vinyl. Ok fine, other than the limited EP version of Horrendous Disc on 10" swirly-colored vinyl. From 'Daniel Amos' to 'Darn Floor' to a weird Swirling Eddies/Mike Stand split 12" single I found in Pittsburgh. Point being, I can't wait to not only hear the new record, but to hold a nice, huge vinyl copy in my hands...
I was also wondering what any of you may recommend as far as record players. I have a decently functioning early 80's restored Sears brand record player/dual cassette deck/8-track(!) console that plays 33, 45, & 78. Found this restored beast in a vintage shop in Oregon for $75. I have been looking for a new system that won't break the bank, but I also don't want the Crosley type new portable players with their tinny single speakers and zero EQ. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

I agree with Dennis. If you've got a high end audio place around, just have them take a look at your current set-up, maybe adjust the tone arm and upgrade your needle. But on the whole, what you have sounds pretty nice, and most affordable new players do not match the quality of old stuff (built to last).
