SR4 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Im finally giving into a turntable, which I should have purchased, long, long, long ago. A few questions, and I know you lot can help me out. First is the turntable. Im looking for something relatively cheap, doesn't have to be horribly high-end or anything, all I need it to do is play records and have just one audio jack so i can plug it into my computer stereo system....i dont think itdbe too hard to do...but im worried about ordering a player and then realizing it doesn't plug into computer stereo systems(you know, just the one plug with the green tint on it) Second up is where to find really good vinyl? Ive checked Gemm.com for some records Id been looking for, but I dunno if you lads enjoy other sites moreso for certain genres, artists, etc. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide SR4's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44702-vinylturntable-thread-for-noobs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 get a new soundcard if you are going to be recording vinyl onto your computer the soundblaster live or whatever the fuck default soundcard you have with "the little green" jack is going to make the analog to digital transfer sound like shit. Buy this turntable, its only 79 bucks on musicians friend right now, great price for a quality record playing turntable with some good parameters, for what you want dont get anything better or worse Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44702-vinylturntable-thread-for-noobs/#findComment-1013704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the extra dough on a direct drive. It's way worth it. We're talking about you ears here.

We're talking about you ears here. yah well your definitely correct a belt doesn't have the durable nature of direct drive(or of course the quick action motion to any sort of turntable manipulation), I just don't how often he plans on playin records. Kinda sounds like he wants to just rip the record to his computer and listen to the vinyl sound through his comp/mp3 player/cd player/sample it etc so I did not expect the belt drive would receive enough wear and tear to warrant the need for a DD.

playbynumbers Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 just get a used technics on ebay; i've had mine for six years, it's worked perfectly, i paid $30 for it. the best sites for buying vinyl are: forcedexposure (for electronic/obscure stuff) insound (for indie/rock stuff) discogs (in case the first two don't come through) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide playbynumbers's signature Hide all signatures vinyl for sale photography!

SR4 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 thanks for all the recs and advice wise ones. Nah im not interested in ripping vinyl at all really, I just want to move from mp3s all the time to some actual nice big physical media mediums. the reason i keep bringing up the computer part is because I have a speaker system designed to plug into a computer through the head phone jack, not a traditional one with the red and white outputs.
