lzfan715 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 That looks more like a machine to break my vinyl into little pieces! I can't imagine paying that much for a turntable. It may sound got, but after a certain point no matter how much you spend they will begin to sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Nah - doesn't even look like a turntable. I'll take an old fashioned one thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've NEVER been much of an audiophile and have always listened to my vast collection of incredibly great music on basic sound equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a decent (albeit old) sound system - good quality but nothing fancy and it does my music just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 I don't recall the brand name right off the top of my head but I remember a fella that ran a used record store recommending a rather pricey turntable to me several years ago. He mentioned to me how on some turntables, if you turned the sound all the way down you could still hear the music playing. He said that was due to the turntable vibrating. This particular turntable he was selling didn't do that. He also sold a very high priced record cleaner made by a company called Nitty Gritty. Needless to say, I never invested in either. My vinyl collection, along with my stereo equipment remains in storage. Someday I do hope to put it to use again. When I do, I also plan to invest in some new equipment. Hopefully something nice but it definitely won't be of audiophile quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin'Days Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have always been into quality sound equipment. My first quality receiver was an old Sansui tube receiver that I bought from a friend for ten bucks, he needed the money for some weed. The receiver was his dads and did not work (man, did he get his ass kicked) but he never said who he sold it to. When I got it home, I changed the fuse in the back and it lit up like Christmas. That was one killer receiver. I then sold it a couple of years later to a friend that still has it today and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've got a Technics 1200 turntable. It's a classic turntable and still a favorite among DJ's. You can get a new one for about $500 and a used one for about $250. Top quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a Bang and Olufsen turntable - I've had it forever. Works well for me though in some ways, I miss the old fashioned portable record player I had as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm on my second Panasonic turntable. The first one lasted about 15 years and was put to A LOT of use. The follow-up I've owned since around 1986. I still use it and lately I've noticed some odd behavior with the tone arm. Adjustments don't seem to be working.

Swede Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I miss the old fashioned portable record player I had as a kid Those are cool, but not very healthy for the records. I got one that I sometimes use in the summer if we're out having a picnic. I bring the singles in a "single bag" or "single box". (The pictures is not showing my box and bag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe you can squeeze them into the picture next time? I will. But you know, you don't want the girls near the turntable, then we have to listen to those sappy love songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin'Days Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I will. But you know, you don't want the girls near the turntable, then we have to listen to those sappy love songs. Yeah, or country and western....noooo thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 One of my first record players was one of those combo deals from Sears which I had for years. Later I was gifted with an Aiwa receiver to which I added both a Pioneer cassette deck and CD player. I forget the brand name of my speakers and turntable. In any event, I'm sure their all in dire need of an upgrade. When going through some of my old stuff in recent years I also found myself unable to part with an old portable phonograph that folds up, speakers and all. I've searched online for a photo of one but can't find any. Back to the subject of more unusual turntables, here's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks almost like a jukebox player but in a more robot like way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Obscure Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 If I had a few millions in my bank account, I would pro'ly buy one of those machines. But for now, I'm quite satisfied with my old Dual 502. http://dual-reference.com/tables/502.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
