"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez
"It's always nice to feel like you're appreciated, and you guys have done a great job with that."- R. Abeel
"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo
"My Rane mixer arrived safely yesterday. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for your speedy response to my initial enquiry and efficient delivery. Great price and great service, I'll definitely be telling my friends about it." - A. McConnell (Marrickville, Australia)

"The Get Up Kids’ seminal sophomore album Something to Write Home About, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with the release of a deluxe, remastered edition, might send listeners back to cinder block dormitories, stuffy study halls, the driver’s seats of first cars, or their teenage bedrooms. For the four core members of The Get Up Kids, the album transports them to Mad Hatter Studios in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood, where they spent six weeks in the summer of 1999 recording what would be their genre-defining outing. For the 2024 reissue, the original album tracks were remastered by Joe LaPorta at Sterling Sound and the packaging features expanded artwork plus an album’s worth of demos, including four-track acoustic recordings by Matt Pryor. This combined effort reveals the sturdiness of Something to Write Home About’s songs — a tracklist battle-tested in hundreds of live settings. The demos also reveal key changes to lyrics, as in opener 'Holiday,' and abandoned instrumental ideas; Pryor points to a 'twangy' guitar line in 'Valentine' jettisoned by Suptic. 'It’s so funny listening to it now,' Suptic says. 'My better taste prevailed.' For the Get Up Kids, these demos also have the same transportative quality as the finished album, warping them right back to downtown Kansas City and the five-story decommissioned ROTC training facility that–for $100 a month–served as their practice space." - Polyvinyl
