No problem, try progressive audio on high street.

so when anyone wants to toss in a suggestion instead of being a dick, please do.

So you don't care if it sucks, why ask for suggestions? Just buy the cheapest thing you can possibly find?

[space6oy]

i'm not buying it. my cousin is looking for one for a kid she's giving it to as a bday gift and asked for suggestions. i doubt they ALL suck, they just aren't up to UG's audiophilecollectorsnuff.

remember boomboxes? OHHH SHEEIITTT.

[sonidero]

Just get that $60 Ion and everybody be happy...

It's just Records y'all...

I have a "Innovative Technology" brand entertainment system. it has a tape deck, a cd player, fm/am antenna and a turntable. And built in speakers. its dece, if i listen through headphones the internal speakers are still working (but REALLY quietly) and getting a radio station depends greatly upon where you are in relation to the unit, but FUCK IT! i'm listening to records in my kitchen while i cook!

[space6oy]

that's an oldie though, right? gotta find something in current retail.

[WayToHip]

oh, i bought mine at the source store maybe last month. it looks old tho.
