Given that I don't have much vinyl these days after having it all robbed a couple of years ago so I am not too bothered about having any top of the range effort, nor to a want t be a bedroom DJ, so 1 will do me. Any recommendations? |

I'm not paying £360 for one deck...it's a rip off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basically agreed. however, if you ONLY want to do playback: Clearaudio or Rega or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that all depends on how good sound-quality and durability you want... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
start with a cheap belt drive, with a qaulity catrige and stylus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't mind spending money...I don't agree with the current price of Technics which is primarily due to image rather than quality. |
||||||||

You dont need a new one. You can get used ones for cheaper. Hella cheaper. We have a music store like a mile from my house that has a seperate DJ room. You can actually test the tables out right there. They are lined up and wired in. Those people make a percentage on sales so if it means hooking it up they will. Perhaps there is something similar near you? Its always best to see it and touch it in person. To get an idea of the product. Testing it of course is ace. |

I was looking at the Stanton STR8100 actually...It's about £140 cheaper than the 1210Mk5 and it looks pretty good. |
||||||||

(I'm pretty sure these guys have the worlds best turntable or something... the "master reference") |
||||||||

Cheers for that...there seems to be a Rega stockist about 15 minutes from where I live. I might drive through tomorrow and have a look :) |
||||||||

Nothing wrong with a Stanton. |

I read a story about a Rega Planar once. The man who had it, played a record while packing his bags before going on holiday. His cab came earlier than expected, so he finished his packing and rushed to the door. When he returned he found that he forgot to take the record off his turntable, and that it had run throughout his trip (I think it was one week). All he had to do was buy a new cartridge and a new copy of the record, because he stylus had eaten through the wax. True or not. I would buy a Rega. They are good and pleasant to look at |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha... All I know is that regas are supposed to be among the best for regular playback! ..and yeah.. they're pretty stylish! |
||||||||
|
|

I read it in the HiFi Klubben magazine some years ago. It may be true or an urban myth, and it would be cool if Mythbusters took it upon themselves to investigate :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it doesn't seem unlikely.. if the weight is set a bit high, you can probably run through the inner groove in a week... next time you're going to discard a stylus, just let it run on an old record for a week before you discard it... see what happens! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a big 10-4. I'll post pictures on the internet to document the process. |

Become A laptop jockey sell your vinyl. |

I'll do the same when I change mine next time (over a year to, though... just changed it...)! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Excellent! One of mine is starting to fail, and I think I will change it soon. Infact I have an old one in a box somewhere, and I can mail it to you. It's a concorde pro-s stylus, but I'm sure it will fit you gay pinkcoloured one(:D). I can apply for funding from the Faculty of Turntable Science here at my university, that is if they are accepting my draft for a thesis. It would help alot if we could synchronize our research. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fit you gay pinkcoloured one(:D) HAHAHAHAH! (what WERE they thinking?!) I think this could be great research! Just imagine the logs! "Day one: it looks exactly the same. Conclusion: One day is not enough. Day two: I think I see something... conclusion: I don't kow Day three: yes, yes.. there's definately something... conclusion: Three days make a difference. ..." |

I'm thinking Ortofon hired some "creative" consultant to help out in their research & development department. It's a great cartridge, don't get me wrong, but I think we can agree that the colour was a bit off, so to speak. I'll send you the research details via telex as soon as possible. If you want you can check my bbs at uni. It's available through telnet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hahaha! well, the page says something about them being easy to spot in a dark club, but I think they are like any "engineering" comany.. engineers don't know SHIT about design! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I've discovered something interesting! For the experiment to work, the stylus have to actually touch the surface of the record!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My god! This might prove that my theory of the stylus being the missing link between the record itself and the music that emits from the turntable device. Never again shall I be ridiculed by the turntable traditionalists! Good work, Professor. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
dude. stick with stanton. theyre turntables are really good, durable and reasonably cheap. they also look real cool too. whatever you do, get a good quality needle. i've always found the fat "hip-hop" scratch type needles to be the best quality. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I knew you'd be pleased with these results. I'm sending over a series of stereograms depicting the process right away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would agree with what drunkem mastha recomended rega,clearaudio but mostly recondmend the Nad 533 which is by far the lowest-priced high-performance turntable available |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have an updated high-definition picture of the needle actually touching the record: |

It looks like a deformed penis cumming on a gay African mans bum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahha! yes, I can see how an untrained eye can think that, but that's because it's high-def imagery! You need a doctoral degree in high-def and laser cutting to understand it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha. I got both those degrees, and it still looks like a deformed penis :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha! according to freud there ARE sexual undertones to everything we do... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hang on, perhaps I am being thick, but that story about the record being played for a week, how does it prove that the turntable is good? lots of tables would also operate for a week and only the needle and vinyl would need replacing. |
||||||||

There was a cat that lived in the middle and it didn't even get dizzy because of the quality of the deck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It doesn't prove anything. It was just a story I remembered when Rega was mentioned, and I'm sure many decks can do the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try putting your cat in the middle of a technics for two weeks, then watch me laugh as your dizzy cat can't stand up for a week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no cat, but my goldfish are about to experience the ride of his life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I don't own a rega, and apparently nor does dr. Vlari, ehich means that the experiment will be conducted on another turntable... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha that picture and your comment made me L O L |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

meant for ecnadniarb |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! you were not alone! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A great deal of laughing occured in the middle part of Norway too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although it was more of a "prrrfhfhhfhhhfhf" than an actual laugh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm, i can buy a rega p3 for a reasonable price (like half the new price), but i understand the needle hasnt been changed in 6 years, the cartrige is a ortofon mc10 and just cleaned should i take it? instead of a goldring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. take the rega, but get a new stylus... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's a stylus, the needle? the thing is i wont have much money for buying anything more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's the needle... but.. how old is the rega, btw? that the stylus hasn't been changed for 6 years only means it is at least 6 years old, but may be more... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not older i understand, i cant believe the guy didnt change the stylus, the cartridge is supposed to be pretty good |
