People purchasing the 55th anniversary Technics SL-1200 M7G and flipping them at ridiculous asking prices.

My TT is on a medium height shelf and my cat has developed a habit of jumping on it a couple minutes after I put a record on; he has now caused scratches on two of my records. He only cares to stand on it when music is playing.

Nothing I do is working— he has two cat trees that go to the ceiling and multiple perches on our window, he has a heating pad, he has multiple beds. He has access to the top of the cabinets in my kitchen and the top of my fridge as well. If you came into my apartment you’d think he adopted me.

He does not respond to being sprayed with water. In fact, he quite enjoys it. He loves tinfoil as well.

Any suggestions?

…i post here often so a few of you already know my TT’s. Just thought I’d share both of my setups in one post.
First 4 pics is the Parlor system….
….last 3 pics is the Bedroom.

Thanks for looking. 😊

if you're looking for retipping or repairs for your MC don't hesitate to get with Andy. I sent him my ptg and he had it finished the day he received it! he even fixed a channel imbalance issue I didn't know I had. Absolutely incredible communication, price, speed, and most importantly performance. sounds better than new!

Great album. Zero skips.

Un ami m'a donné ça je vais la réparer c'est sentimental je veux qu'il puisse la voir marcher chez moi comme dans son enfance.
Est ce qu'il y a des moyens d'améliorer le son ? Rigidifier le châssis ? Et qu'elle cellule et diamant ? Ça va avec un Marantz PM25

Five years ago, I was walking down my street and saw a bunch of trash on the side of the road.

They were clearing a house out that looked like it had been abandoned for a bit. In the pile of trash, I noticed a record player. The plastic covering was super foggy, so I couldn't see if it even still had all the parts left in it, but I decided to pull it out of the junk to take a closer look.

Turns out it was a PL-518 from 1978. Assuming that it had a whole bunch of stuff broken and that's why they had put it out, I decided to do some testing.

Hooked up some power to it and most things actually functioned pretty well. The lights came on, the turntable rotated perfectly, it could swap between modes, and even to my biggest surprise, the automatic return function worked.

The only downside was no audio was coming out, and there was no tears in the main cables and nothing externally I could see, so I knew I would have to pop it open, which I did. I found that there was only two little broken wires heading to the output just inside, so I went ahead and repaired and cleaned up some soldering and whatnot here or there, nothing really major.

Hooked it up to a $15 preamp that I had lying around and threw a beat-up record I had onto it, replaced the needle, and next thing you know, it was blasting Sublime no problem.

It's now been 5 years since I found this on the street and it's still playing and putting out some amazing sounds for me and my family with zero repairs other than the first one.

I added a little stand just above it to place the record that was currently playing, kind of like an physical play " Spotify's "now playing".

Just goes to show another man's trash is another man's treasure. And they really don't build them like they used to. If it could survive the rain, getting tossed around, and who knows what else and still play and work this well, who knows what else it can handle.

That's it. Just a little story time.

Says it needs stylus? New too this would love a second opinion!

So I’m thinking bout buying my first record player and I see this one for 600kr(60$) and it looks really good it’s the exibel BXLP-45 now at the time i had ai make me a ranking of all the other players I was looking at and it placed it dead last(I know i really can’t trust ai) so that why I’m asking the pros is it really that bad?

Had some sheet left over from my sub build so I built a custom isolation platform with levelling feet. 38mm walnut veneered mdf, with sorbothane matched to the combined weight of the platform plus turntable.

Supposedly like new, used once

Were I a noob, I'd be all over this like a dog on a ham. DFW-ers, if you're starting out, get this

what do you think of my setup? playing some vintage Disney

Would u guys recommend paying a used like new Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct Drive Turntable Phono USB for $180 as a gift for a beginner?
Thank you in advance!!

I have a lp120xbt

I want to replace the stock mat with this one: Anti-Static Silicone Turntable Mat - 12" Slipmat – Hudson Hi-Fi

I was told if I replace the mat on the lp120x it should be 2.5 mm, but I've seen this one recommended for my turntable before, but it's 3.2 mm

Since other people seemed happy with it for my turntable, is there anything I should worry about?

I have a Moth Alamo (same as Rega Planar 2), it has original cartridge and arm. What’s the most cost effective upgrade I can make to the turntable?

Hello! I recently found a ton of vinyls in my grandparents storage unit when I was helping them clean it out. I just recently started getting into vinyls and have no gear to test them with. They've been sitting in a non-climate controlled storage building and some look like the outside has water stains, would it be worth it to test them out and if so, how should I clean them?

this is an older at LP120xusb, will any cartridge and stylus work?

Anyone familiar with how well these do, and what a reasonable offer price could be?

Bonjour,

Mon frère m'a récemment passé une chaîne hifi technics composée d'un lecteur vinyle et un ampli (SU-X880-KXA) et deux enceintes.

Après avoir effectué les branchements, au moment d'essayer, il n'y a aucun son qui sort des enceintes. J'ai testé tous les branchements possibles vis à vis des enceintes et je ne sais pas quoi faire, avez vous des idées de où pourrait venir le problème ?

J'essaye déjà sur AUX via mon pc, donc ce n'est pas mon lecteur vinyle qui a un problème.

J'ai remarqué qu'il y a du son qui sort de manière très légère quand je mets le son de l'ampli au maximum (ce qu'on ne fait pas d'habitude).

Et les enceintes fonctionnaient bien chez mon frère donc je ne pense pas qu'elles soient devenues défectueuses de chez lui à chez moi.

Je précise également que ma façade est bien réglée (sur MAIN et sur AUX), donc je pense pas que le problème vienne de là.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !

Hi everyone!

I’m going to South Korea in a few weeks and had a question about the Technics SL-1500CS turntables.

I am hoping to save a few hundred dollars on a turntable with the exchange rate and locality pricing for a turntable. I’ve been looking at the Korean and Japanese suppliers and saw that the CS is not offered, does anyone know why?

I have seen the C and CW (what is the CW? I know the W isn’t a color code because I have seen CW-K referred to as the black color) around on Yodobashi and AV Plaza sites.
