What giveaways or party favors seem to be a big hits at events? Not things you'll leftover in the trash, on tables, or floors later. We are trying to cut down on waste and want people to enjoy and actually use the give outs. I think people have a million totes...something different
found this at goodwill. it says JCpenny on it but im not sure how to find the exact type. hoping you guys could give me some more info on it
I went into this little experiment thinking the sound was going to suffer. I moved the vintage big stereo down to basement and set up Ark Ultra, Sub 4 and Era 300. I wanted to find away to hook up the turntable so went to YouTube university and found a video on doing this. Dug up the old connect and hooked it up.
I was presently surprised how good the vinyl sounds on the 300s. I run a VPI Scout with a Hanna ML magnetic coil cartridge, speed control box and a parasound preamp. Sounds as good as traditional receiver and speakers. Only caveat is I have to use the app to controls bass, trouble and volume control. Very happy that I reduced the stereo foot print in living room but still have access to our vinyl collection

I currently using a Fluance RT85 with Ortofon Blue. It's an okay table, but really don't care for the vintage aesthetic of them. I was leaning towards the Pro-Ject Evo 2 but then was considering the Debut pro as it has VTA and azimuth adjustments which are not a necessity, but nice to have the flexibility when upgrading carts in the future. Then I was thinking of a more end all be all option of just going with the X2b. The old "buy once, cry once". I could never see myself spending or needing anything more than that. IF I go with the Evo 2 or Pro I will get the upgraded acrylic platter. I just can't convince myself I will hear a difference spending twice as much on the X2. Anyone care to talk some sense into me?
Bonjour, J'ai acheté récemment une platine vinyle jvc al-F55b et les enceintes jvc qui vont avec. Je débute tout juste dans les vinyles, j'ai déjà acheté quelques disques et je cherchais une platine pas trop cher mais qui fait quand même le taff. Le problème c'est que sur certains de mes disques sur certaines des musiques le son ressort très bizarrement sur les enceintes à certains moment, je sais pas si on entend bien sur la vidéo mais le son est quand même très bizarre comme déformé. Au début j'avais essayé la platine sur une enceinte Bluetooth et la plupart des disques fonctionnait très bien sans problème de sons. Si quelqu'un pourrait me dire si il n'y a pas un problème quelque part, merci.
Je précise mais la platine à déjà une ampli intégré et j'ai bien branché l'enceinte en RCA sur LINE.
Merci d'avance.
After spending countless hours of researching sound impedance, hardware compliance, external noise, etc., I've finally almost completed my first budget audiophile set up. But I'm still stuck on the turntable. Most of what I'm purchasing is used/open box because I am price sensitive. Any feedback/advice on my turntable and overall setup would be appreciated as well. This is my first "budget audiophile" set up. I'm still waiting for items to come in the mail, so I haven't had a chance to test anything yet.
Receiver: NAD C3050 with the BluOS upgrade
Inside Speakers: Pair of PMC Prodigy5 (My apartment has a terrible layout and floor space is limited. They have front ports which allows me to get closer to the wall and they have shorter profile. Those reasons justified me going over my speakers budget)
Outside Speakers: Pair of Definitive Technology AW5500 speakers for an outside terrace (I'll be running these A/B. To make the lift a bit easier on my receiver, I'll connect them to an OSD OVC300 outdoor volume control and impedance multiplier. I need something that can compete with a passing train.)
Cables:
Turntable (the final piece): I'm thinking to buy a refurbished Dual 704 with a new Ortofon OM-10 cartridge for $995 total. I live above a train line and the heavy plinth (original replaced with hardwood) and mass of the unit, plus isolation feet which I need to purchase, I believe will combat the rumble.
Thank you in advanced for your help and feedback!
I'm a total newbie when it comes to turntables. I recently acquired a Marantz TT320 and a Schneider 1711 at a low price - they both operate well, but both require a new stylus - the diamond on the Marantz is completely missing and the Schneider really needs replacing.
I think the cartridges are likely original, but I've no idea what to replace the stylus with? Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
found a stash by the dumpster of a local elementary school today and brought one home cause i had one of these back in the day and it was pretty solid and impressively loud. its obviously old but looks to have been virtually unused.
anyway it won’t turn on. maybe that’s why they were throwing them out lol? but i feel like they are really hearty and maybe it’s a quick fix?
im not particularly good at fixing things but could follow simple directions if anyone knows what might be the issue. would LOVE your input of turntable angels of reddit.
Just was planning on upgrading and was wondering what people thought of this and if they had any better ones to link me with
To start this is a Clearaudio Concept v2 MM cartridge on a Clearaudio Satisfy tonearm on a Clearaudio Concept table.
I came home yesterday and saw that the cantilever was bent. I don't know if it got damaged, or if the tracking force / anti-skate caused it. I can push it but it does not seem to want to pop back in place, and it can hear some distortion when its playing. Here's where I need help or advice:
This was given to me for my wife’s uncle’s estate. I believe the turntable is a 298 and the is a 990. I would love to get information on what I have if you guys can help me out here and I’m looking to get a cartridge or a new needle for my current cartridge but I get a set so I could set aside the cart right now because it’s a beautiful cart and I would like to get a backup belt because this thing actually still works. I’ve already been using it, but I got my Riga P6 and replaced it.
Hello !
Im looking for help here , since im kind of a newbie at this.
Inherited from my step dad a technics sl 1200 mk2 in good and working condition.
I was looking to sell it for financial reasons, but im very unsure about the pricetag.
Anyone here that could advise me ?
Thanks !!
Hello! I hope im in the right forum :) looking for advice and help!
It has a TV. a phonogram that needs repair and a radio. Power works radio works, which is really cool. 😄 I’m limited on space but I think it’s a pretty cool piece of history. I’m interested in possibly fixing the phonogram- I have done some research on the model and make of this but I can only really find similar items not exact matches (maybe I’m researching wrong) my question 🙋 is the phonogram saveable? Or am I taking on a bit too big of a project?
Also i wish the tv could hook up to something (the thought of fixing it up to something that makes it plays shows somehow sees slightly daunting haha.
But the radio sounds really nice! 👍 I’m located in Canada if that helps context.
Thank you all for any help or advice :)
