Compact unit for dedicated 45 that doesn't suck?


Recommended Posts

I would like to get back into collecting and playing some records. I'm exclusively interested in the small discs this time around. Ideally, I'd have a compact player with small platter to match my collection. Most of them are garbage though. Basically, I want an SL-700 which doesn't exist...

I don't know, suggestions? Short of modifying or constructing one myself? Heck, if you have suggestions about that too I'd be interested.  :blink:

I saw one on craigslist once and I'm pretty sure it was a Dual, and vintage of course. Tricky thing to search for.

What type of speakers/amp receiver do you have? I have a cheapo victrola that I mainly play punk and garage 7"es on, 45rpm 7"s are usually mixed louder and sound ok on it. If your were gonna listen to dark side of the moon the SQ would be unacceptable but for the noisey punky stuff it works fine, since most of them were not mixed for audiophile systems anyway. They have the old 60-70s style suitcases players, but they'll probably be way more than you would think, with people buying them as furniture now.

 

Theres the AT-60 (99.00 us) full size that can be used with cheap 15 dollar computer speakers, it had a real stylus at least.

 

Let us know what you find
