What Rega do you have? I have a Planar 8 with apheta3 mc cart. I was amazed as well when I heard it, I’m no audiophile, something either sounds, amazing, great, really good, good, OK or rubbish 🙂 I have turned in to a bit of a sad act when it comes to turntables. I love them and since I...

No they are cartridges, mind you the stylus replacement are not much cheaper.

I really liked the ortofon 2M blue (£189) on my Technics turntable, I didn't like the 2M red (£90) but others do. I have also tried nagaoka MP110 (£150), Goldring E3 (£89) and a Audio Technica VM95E (£45). The 2M blue is the most expensive out of these but to my ears at least it sounded the...

I was exactly the same, have zero need for it, but love it.

That would be perfect use for it. People buy them to take to record fairs to check before buying expensive records. This chap goes in to detail about them

Yes I will have to clean the record after, but I got a bit excited to try it out. But if you don’t have much space it has Bluetooth out and built in rechargeable battery so can be put anywhere and sounds good through decent headphones. Surprisingly good sound quality and very well made.

Present from my hubby, very cool little device.

Yes mine is a Sl1210GR

No one I found in a second hand shop, the vinyl is ok but the sleeve and inner not so good. I think the copy my husband has is 1st addition as he bought when it was first released. That only get played on the Rega or Technics turntable. This copy is a newish heavy vinyl remaster.

I found the first record player I got given for Christmas in 1979 on eBay. I pictured here next to a full-size turntable for scale. It is a Mittoy MusicMaker and is direct drive record player that can play LP's and 7" records. I remember 7 year old me being so amazed and pleased with it. I was...

My daughter’s friend was telling her she would like a record player, she does not have a lot of money, and no experience with turntables, so my daughter asked me if I could help. I bought this one on eBay that was sold as not working for £11 inc delivery so I thought it was worth a punt as I had...

There are lot of options the Audio-Technica LP60 is a good entry level turntable, as a design it has been around for a long time. I got my daughter an Aiwa from the 90's as her first turntable, apart from the USB, Bluetooth connections it was the same as an LP60 and a good sounding turntable...

That's a good price hope it all works for you and would love to see the pictures. I like to find old turntables in need of TLC and fix them. I then sell them on Ebay for the price it has cost me to purchase and repair, I don't do it to make money (don't want to lose it either) just the...

That a lovely looking turntable :thumbsup:

After the success of repairing and restoring the last turntable, I got another one. It's Pioneer PL-130. The service manual suggests it's from the around 1982 It was sold as broken and had no plug so I was not sure if it would work at all. I have replaced drive belt, stylus, given it a clean...

Depends what type of record cleaner. Manual cleaning I have used this and it works well and removes static...

QUOTE=studio150;9430462]When I suggested we follow this excellent home improvement, my wife suggested I was trying to get her to move out. I took that as a no, we're not having that installed.:down: I have the opposite problem, if I suggested that we removed the fireplace and installed that...
