Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

A few years back, I collected vinyl records, Motorpsycho vinyl records in particular. I bought myself a used Bang & Olufsen record player, and a phono-to-aux cable. I was ready for some listening! But no, my hi-fi wasn't compatible with the old technology. I think I needed some sort of amplifier. I didn't follow it through.

These days I see record players coming with USB-outputs, for easy transfer to PC. Probably gonna buy one of those soon. These are the records that are lying here waiting to be played:
