Turntables...

[Ben_t]

Hi, I have a couple of vinyls but my old turntable is kinda dead. I checked to get it fixed but it appears to be too expensive. So I'm looking to get a new (or used) one. My knowledge of turntables is limited so I'd appreciate some input.

For those who have a turntable, what model do you have, how much is it worth and do you recommend it?

Thank you!

i gave up to fix my turntable. why don't you download these records and sell to some store?

I have been considering getting a turntable myself, but I don't know anything. I know there are sites that review and talk about them, though.

A Google search would probably get you some good results. Try PMing Nec.

Technics 1200 is a great turntable to get if you can find one for a decent price second hand. They're awesome quality, and will last for life. They're generally pretty expensive though.

I've got a Technics SL-BD20. It was very cheap (ie. someone gave it to me ) and it works fine. Nothing flashy though. Belt drive, no pitch control or anything. Good for home listening, auto return control arm etc.

I used to have one, but it broke. So now I don't have one.

My sister has one, but she rarely let's me use it if I want to play something metal. I'm hoping to get enough hours in this month at where I work to buy a nice one so I'll end up referring back to this thread.

That's exactly the model I had. It'Ls really cheap and the guys wanted to charge me like 25$ just to look at it...that's not even to fix it. I checked a couple places and it seemed like it would be more expensive to fix this one then to get another one.

I also went to a place and they were selling some turntables for 5500$. That's a little extreme.

Oh and I also saw this on the internet... http://www.sumikoaudio.net/sme/prod_model30.htm

Looks like a great choice!

Seriously though the in the store I visited they had some good turntables at semi-decent prices. I think I'm going to try and find one of these used or something. They are apparently very good.

Pro-Ject Debut III
Rega P1
Thorens TD-170-1

So I'll try to find one by either of these brands or maybe Technics as well if I find a good one.

Fair enough, an upgrade is probably in order then.

That's mental. I'm getting one. As soon as I've got a spare $40k laying around.
