I decided to get into this record thing, so I picked up these at a pawn shop: Pioneer PL-15D turntable and Sansui RZ-7000 receiver. I had to order a new cartridge and belt for the turntable, so I don't even know if it's working. I can see the cam spinning, though, so at least it turns on.

Yeah, I ordered a Shure cartridge, though I suppose I could have just gotten a stylus. Oh well.

Whee got the belt for my turntable and it's running quite well, as far as I can tell! Sounds pretty good through my headphones.

I found my turntable (Pioneer PL-12D) in a thrift shop for $20. Of course, it needed a belt and a cartridge, but once I got those, it's been great except that sometimes the auto-return is over-zealous.

Your receiver's amp is *probably* better than the turntable's.

The automatic function on my turntable (I forget which model) is broken and half the time I have to fight it to actually start playing and I'd prefer manual just for that. I'm sure if I pulled it apart, I could fix it.

You're allowed to make $1.50 impulse buys. ESPECIALLY of Europe's "The Final Countdown". And now I want a copy.

The automatic on my turntable was a piece of poo poo, so I tried to remove the mechanism, and instead left myself with a table that won't turn off. It's a piece of poo poo, so not a big deal, and I got a switch so I can just turn off the power, but I can do without.

I feel like that's a pretty low risk if you're even remotely careful. The time is a concern, but if you put it on before going to bed, it's not going to be much of an issue, especially if you leave it just to really messed up records.

What do we know about SL-1300s? One is showing up in local CL in what looks to be good shape other than missing its counterweight and the dust cover being destroyed.

Perhaps more common are Eames airport slings which are very comfy for as simple as they are (basically some lightly padded vinyl slung across a metal frame).

Electric Bugaloo posted:Ugh, spoke too soon- there’s also now a $399 ATLP140XP, which seems to be more of a direct 1200 competitor? It comes with the DJ version of the VM95 but that’s apparently swappable back. I wonder what the differences are. quote:The following are differences between the AT-LP120-USB model turntable and the AT-LP120xUSB. Does tone arm height really matter for home use?

Electric Bugaloo posted:That’s funny, Audiokarma seems to have concluded the opposite- or rather that the 140XP is the better successor, unless you need the built-in preamp, and that the 120X is a downgrade in many respects. It's from the Q&A section of the official product page. There's nothing similar on the 140XP page.

I have one of those. It seems fine. You can replace the cartridge if you want (and as you noted, you'll need to for 78s), but it sounds good to me, and the RPM checking app seems to suggest it's solid. I understand it's technically a downgrade in some manner from the model it replaces, but probably not in any way that really matters.

EC posted:Perfect, thanks! Does your turntable have a built-in preamp? If it's a vintage one, this is unlikely, and you'll need an additional preamp. If it's more modern, it may have it.
