They hired a crew of bowhunters to thin out the deer population in my town. I hope to catch a glimpse of one of them someday, but it might be disappointing, cuz it would probably ruin my image of Legolas prancing from yard to tree eyeing a whitetail.

Yes, and thank goodness they were on the same block!

Someone recently dug this quote up on the EDLIS Cafe on Facebook. Funny. (1984 Rolling Stone interview) http://www.bobdylan.com/us/thecuttingedge_completetracklisting

Ah. Thanks.

Manual adjustment instead of a panel switch? Is there any advantage to that? Sure, but how about making a record player with a dust cover? Who sells this, Apple? Now there's a goddamned machine.

Doesn't seem like it was ever available anywhere digitally, only as a vinyl boot. I looked on a bunch of Blogspot sites (so much soul/funk out there for the taking) with no luck. At this point, I'd buy the vinyl if I were you and have some online service transfer it.

This place apparently has it, and ships worldwide: http://www.vancooten.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=63_34&products_id=1230

The title shows up on this traders page, though I have no clue how old the page may be: http://bootybone.freeservers.com/live.htm

Yeah, I know, but I do stand by my initial reaction. Exposed belts, iffy bases that will cause the unit to fall over (not my words, that's from reviews of at least two in that list), lack of dust covers, cheap materials (check low-starred Amazon reviews that are from users who didn't just take it out the box and give it five stars)...these all just seem like appearance-first, functionality/sturdiness-second products. I wouldn't risk my money on any of them.

So, what moved you to buy a pre-amp? I would guess it was either after being unsatisfied with the installed one, or deciding from reviews that it would be inadequate. Thanks.

So you use an additional pre-amp, even though the unit has one? Did you remove the installed one?

Sometimes minimal just screams out 'look how interesting I am' to me.

They look like they're designed for people who want people to look at their turntable.

Weird list. Those all look silly.

Thanks man.

I'm in the market for a new turntable. I have had an Audio-Technica AT-PL50 for ten years. It's been serviceable, but it's always played everything a bit too fast, even 180g discs. I guess the belt is to thank for that. And the sound has always been a little muted. So finally I've saved enough to go for a better quality item this Christmas. Almost all of this thread's links are dead, but the Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct-Drive Professional Turntable seems to be the best buy, and it's still available. Any arguments against this one (poor performance? quirks?), or in favor of another produc

Plus it's still Clapton's solo - Prince just covered it.

I barely know their stuff, but started checking out tunes from your list. Damn, all quality.

No Heavy 33?

The JB's should be a no-brainer.
