Amazon is almost always cheaper than buying at a store locally (such as Best Buy). Also - you pay no sales tax with Amazon. (Plus I get free shipping as a Prime member of Amazon).

Amazon lists the ship date as June 8th, but that's with the FREE shipping. If you pay for expedited you can probably get it June 2nd.

I like Amazon because they do a lot of vinyl - they ship it properly. I wouldn't feel as confident ordering it from Musictoday. Hell even Best Buy can't ship vinyl properly, I got a Police - Certifiable 3LP set shipped in a bubble mailer, corners all mashed to pieces. Cardboard only damnit!!!!!
Excellent points! I've ordered a few vinyls from Amazon - and they are always packaged perfectly!

Rega Planet 3 is great as well, although perhaps a bit more expensive.

If you don't mind shelling out some extra cash for an upgraded pickup than the Ortofon included (which is decent, although there's lots of room for improvement) there's plenty of pickups at all price points. Do a little research.

Also, make sure you have a phono input on your amp . Otherwise you will need a RIAA as well. The pro-ject Tube Box is a good one, although a little expensive. Remember you need two pairs of cables as well if you choose this option (even if you have a phono input, the Tube Box will probably be an upgrade unless you have a significantly expensive integrated amp / preamp).
I've got this turntable. Absolutely love it! Not sure what your price point is though.

Is pessimism a way of life for you? Did you never get invited to birthday parties as a child? Are you one who doesn't see a glass as half empty or half full - but only as a glass that will probably get broken at some point?
