Awesome.

Yeah I love it, too. I bought it when I first got back into vinyl and looking for a dedicated stereo receiver. I couldn't be more happy with it.

And thanks for the link!

Same here.  I've collected records since I was a kid and well life got in the way and I just stored them.  One day I said "this is crazy," bought the Yamaha and a Rega P2 turntable.  I'm very happy with both.  What I like about that Yamaha is that it's very warm sounding.  I just wish it had more options, (bluetooth, etc.)

You're Welcome.

Yeah I know what you mean, re: bluetooth, but just FYI you can get a bluetooth receiver for fairly cheap that you can just run into one of the line inputs on the back.

Something like this.

It's not going to be audiophile quality, but it gets the job done if you just want to play your iPhone/iPad/whatever through your receiver. I use something like this for when we are entertaining and I don't want to get up and flip records every 10-15 minutes.

Jesus. Stevie Nicks. Has there ever been a more painful case of gorgeous woman with a horrid voice?

(I mean. Besides Fran Drescher.)

Early years band, but mostly one visionary guy and session players and a band that went out to tour the stuff Brian had produced.

I wouldn't call the guys creating the greatest rock and roll vocal harmonies ever "session players". 

I agree the Beach Boys are more of a "group" than a "band" though.

While I respect your right to said opinion, the “Unpopular Opinions” thread is that way, Sir. 👉🏻🤌🏻🤝.

I was ambivalent until many years after he broke.  I remember the day the light bulb came on -- I lived off Far West in NW Austin, spring 1986, giant apartment complex, and I headed up to the swimming pool to hang out.  I took my cassette boombox, and the only tape I could find was my roommate's copy of "Damn The Torpedoes".

For some reason, that day it clicked.  Might have been the smokin' hot undergrad in a bikini on the next chaise over, I'm not sure.  She dug the music, and then her dumbass football player boyfriend showed up.

I just kept that tape rolling.  That dude never even started.

You're a cool motherfucker, Jimmy. I had to dig this thread back up because one of the horseshit local sports shows I listen to threw some Petty on earlier today and it got in my head and I just started up Damn The Torpedoes after quite a few drinks tonight. 

God damn this dude could fucking play it, man. 

What an unreal talent. 

Enjoy him, God.
