thomas Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Audio-Technica AT-PL50 It is a piece of crap. The arm likes to reset itself half the time (think the belt is going), and the needle wore out fast it seems. I'm in the market for a new one, anyone know some decent cheap direct drive turntables that have resonably priced needle replacements?

bicyclepirate Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Kenwood KD291-R. I think I got it 12-13 years ago and its still going strong. I think it plays records just a little too fast, which I recently noticed, maybe like 34-35rpm instead of 33. But, its like a child to me, its my first record player. I have two others in storage, one broke and another I didn't like how the arm dropped on the vinyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogoe Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Crosley CR49 Portable Turntable. I figured I'd throw in another one you shouldn't get. It sounds alright, is cheap, and will probably be easier to take to college than some other models. Still, while I'm still new to this vinyl stuff I'm sure I could be getting better sound and the whole thing is kind of flimsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beef Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 '81 Technics SL-B101 (belt drive) w/ Audio Technica LS300 cartridge, running through a Pyle PP-999 pre-amp Picked it up locally on ebay for $20, the person actually lived right down the street, the head shell looked like a stereo component melted it or something, but other than that it works great. Eventually I want to invest in one of those Ion or Audio Technica USB turntables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beef Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 back in the day I used to listen to records on this badass: 1978 Fisher Price w/ built in speaker! goldie locks and the three bears and rumpelstiltskin never sounded better. Damn I wonder if we still have that thing. I didn't realize the was over 15 years old when I was using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 except that it's a belt drive, I think. Direct drive is better, I'm told, though I don't honestly know why. It should work well for ou regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize the was over 15 years old when I was using it. Ha I was actually gunna post this as this was my first too. I wish I still had it, I just threw it out a couple years ago when I moved, and I've seen ones in decent condition go for 50 bucks on ebay. Man that speaker was so bad. As I got older I always wanted to open it up and mess with the speaker to make it sound better but never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 AIWA PX-E855 Bought it off some metal head for $15 in 1999 in high school when I was a freshman. The kid was getting into that late nineties embarrassment called "rap metal/nu metal" and had just purchased two dj style tables and wanted to ditch his hi-fi. His band mates who were older than me said that rock was like a pregnant women who's child was metal and punk was her after birth. I got into a lot of fights in high school...

I've read several different places that its becasue a belt drive isolates noise form the motor better, but I don't know if it's that noticeable. Ha I was actually gunna post this as this was my first too. I wish I still had it, I just threw it out a couple years ago when I moved, and I've seen ones in decent condition go for 50 bucks on ebay. Man that speaker was so bad. As I got older I always wanted to open it up and mess with the speaker to make it sound better but never did. That thing was a trooper, I don't know how it stayed working so long, as a kid you do stupid stuff like spinning the record backwards or scratching it or whatever, just being careless in general. Yet it worked for a long time, that speaker did suck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
