is there such a thing?
-
Sure... used craigslist is a great resource. I found my VPI HW-19 for under 300, but I also recommend some Thorens models, technics SL-1200's (a workhorse), any Rega model (the p-1 used or new might be in your budget) and the music hall line.
-
second vote on a P-1 if you can find it. Great machine! If you have to get something new find a shop that carries dennon, their basic consumer models are some of the best value out there.
-
If this Sansui SR-929 stays under $300, I think you'd score quite a deal.

I love my SR-838!

If you want, I'll run down the road and pick this up for you... There are a ton of TTs on the Raleigh Craigs List...
Hell, we even got a Nagra: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/ele/682892678.html

Love my P1
Macdaddy took care of me on that one and I wouldn't give up vinyl for anything now
-
This sansui looks pretty decent : http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/ele/679786162.html At least to start, looks like a knock of SL 1200
If you want i'd pick that up for you and keep it till you're around here.
-
I think the deal is with that MMF 5 on Craigslist, I would jump on that in a second personally.

damn sweet deal... very tempting
-
I am enjoying vinyl so much that I am having a hard time allocating $$ for the DAC I need to buy next.
I say to myself...."self ?..., is that DAC going to make my records any cleaner ? "
-
Is the Thorens TD-185 a decent entry level turntable?
-
been looking myself...
how's this one?

All the thorens tables are solid but the idler & belt tables are best. There is a great website dedicated to all thorens tables, you can find it with a google search.

I don't think they are as solid as they were once. Modern Chinese crap with a fancy name is all you get these days. Go get a P1!
-
You are correct. I meant the older tables only belt or idler not direct drive.

saw a listing on my company's yardsale board for an "Edison disc console phonograph"... tempted to call and ask for pics!
but he want's $350 for it.

how much for a new cartridge? and to replace the cartridge leads? Can I do the replacement?
-
cart ..., depends on what you want to spend. $99 to $9999 is a good range to start in.
:)
yes, you can replace the leads. no big deal Trey.

i saw that one and was hesitant as well
-
I wouldn't sweat it honestly, the Rega's are so popular & you can find a re-wire kit easily enough of higher grade wire. Consider it an upgrade worthwhile!

word - just sent an email
are you coming out to LA next weekend?
-
Yep, we can only do Sunday though. Just picked up my balcony tickets yesterday. I am running the same rig as you in fact. CK1x with a PSP2 into my 702. Should be a blast!
