    Options for a 1st turntable

    Hi all. It's my first time posting here, and I'm putting together my first vinyl setup. I currently have an old pair of speakers with no discernible markings on them, and a Yamaha RX-596 receiver. I'm trying to buy everything through my local craigslist/fb marketplace, and I have few options as...

    From the ashes: RX-596 pt II... or save for an A-S501?

    So, for those who saw my sad tale of woe and wtf, this is the result. NEW UNIT NEEDED! [laughs] So, thinking about what I loved about the 596 I wondered: How much better would an A-S501 be? - I lose the CD Direct mode, but gain a DAC... but that probably won't matter to the soon-to-be...

    Amp advice request: What Yamaha(s) to go for next?

    1) I started this past year with an RX-396. I paired it with an Onkyo EQ. I liked the sound. It was good with my Luxman turntable, too. I upgraded to an RX-596, and found a nice, simple Yamaha CD player for the CD Amp Direct mode. I didn't know how I'd live without an EQ, but I'm a Pure...

    EQ with Yamaha RX-596?

    Is it possible to hook one up? Did I miss something? [goes back to the rack to look it over] I just upgraded from an RX-396 to the RX-596, but it doesn't look like it is set up to work with an EQ. I thought I knew what I was getting in to, but now I'm not so sure... I'm bummed =( My EQ is...
