Vinyl/Turntable Thread for Noobs

your mom

i think ludd's point is that your advice for direct drive vs belt driven is contradicted by just about everything ever written concerning making a choice of which type of turntable to buy

*ahem*

but he's not ripping vinyl so direct drive is *probably the best way to go esp for a first turntable

how about one of these bad boys from a Radio Shack

Kablow!! record player right into your computer speakers for the cost of waffles

Direct Drive - DJing

Belt Drive - Home Listening

if you look at most (if not all) high end audiophile turntables, they are belt driven. this is to reduce vibrations from the motor that could be picked up by the stylus.

or you could just get one of these

one of what?

These

a ghost?

lol

also, what BCM said

This is what I have, it is beautiful, functional.

 

Just look at it.

that looks like something orubasarot would wear

i honestly recommend just getting either a new or 2nd hand technics 1200. it should really last you for pretty much forever. belt drive's are better for noise reduction but direct drive's (quartz timed) are much better for timing.

alright, i ended up ordering that one first mentioned...should be great for the price...its coming tomorrow and im so fucking excited...

lttp but if anyone comes back and checks this thread out later - have a pair of used technics 1200 - did a shit ton of research and the consensus is pretty much that a)The Technics have a solidly reliable sound b)are built like friggin' tanks.

2.5 quality inches from the scab at the base of my shaft to the weeping sore on my glans

hard?

13", even with a bit choppd off. Unfortunately it only has a girth of 3", so its more chimpanzee like than human. This does have the advantage I can use it to make 'balloon animals' at children's parties.

mine is approximately one fifth of an ell.

mine looks like a J but mum is helping me with it

All the way from Spain?

Me too. s'nice ! Except I got the normal Debut III rather than the one with the integrated pre-amp (I got a Cambridge 640p preamp), replaced the mat with a cork mat, and got the Speed Box II for it. Next thing I think I'll change is either the stylus or cartridge (though I'll probably never get round to doing either)
