Garage Music

[Gusable]

When I’m in the garage I listen to a lot of buddy rich

[Bulldog9]

Speaking of garage music, my old garage stereo system has just quit a few weeks ago.   I have a turntable that works for my records, and Fay has an iPod with lots of her music on it, and I have a suitable pair of speakers, but I need something that I can plug it all into, and that also plays cassettes and CDs.

I could go down to "Best Buy" and ask, but bless their hearts, those young folks turn funny colors when I mention cassettes and turntables.

If anyone here hasn't got anything better to do (well, you know what I mean), is there something I can get at a gadget store or on Amazon that will act like an amplifier/FM receiver for those components, and to which I can hook my speakers?   The ones I see all look like they already come with things I already have, or they're for stereo experts and cost big bucks.   I'm looking for a $200 thing at most ....

Thanks!

I scored a beautiful old school Marantz and Dennon Receiver at a yard sale a few years ago, $50. Facebook marketplace is also a good option.

To plug everything into, you just need a stereo receiver, not even an AV one. They are $40-$100 all day long on Facebook, Goodwill, and thrift stores. You can plug iPod, MP3 player into one easy. Lots of people talk about streaming not, for me. I've got 4-500GB and growing of music on hard drive. So I built a headless mini-PC that hooks to my 1980s vintage Onkyo receiver. I control the whole thing with my tablet or phone. Long term goal is to have it look like a piece of stereo equipment. Right now in proof of concept phase. So far so good.

It's hard to pin down a favorite. I have a hundred or two stations of streaming music from online services and about 800gb on a 1tb harddrive of mp3's, range is far and wide however usually music of the last 20 years is not as prevalent. I also listen to podcasts when I remember to, typically the Jocko Podcast, Meateater, Joe Rogan. Most of my go to music is gonna be old bluegrass though now that I think about it.

 It's catchy, but feels artificial. I'd rather listen to the originals that were copied for that song.

Last I was at a Cards game was 5 years ago.  I don't remember if he's still the announcer.
