I recently got into vinyl as well and have a cheap Jensen deal that has speakers on the sides (http://www.amazon.com/Jensen-3-Speed-Stereo-Turntable-Silver/dp/B000UVKE2I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329422229&sr=8-1) It still goes for what I paid for it, right around 45.

Im working on my surround sound in my media room and have a set for 5.1 speakers by Definitive Technology. Still working on the avr (prolly getting onkyo nr709) but I have hooked up two of the sats to the turntable and it sounds amazing compared to the speakers built in, I never knew vinyl sounded that great till then.

How big is everyones vinyl collection? I have maybe 20-30 records, the coolest stuff being Johnny Cash American 3,4,5, and 6 (want 1 and 2 but both are 100 plus) Star Wars original 1977 record (need to find a better one, one I have is pretty scratched) and lastly a double Red vinyl Red Dead Redemption soundtrack to the videogame. Really awesome soundtrack and looks friggin awesome (have two copies, one unopened). Oh I also have Tron Legacy on vinyl too. THAT sounds absolutely AMAZING. Even better than the BluRay.

Also anyone planning to do Record Store Day this year? Its in April I think.
