petitepedal ★ Posted September 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2017 Turntable was good except for needle/cartridge...I could go online or to the needle doctor and get just the stylus or they could replace the entire cartridge...since it was there...I voted to replace the entire cartridge. $83 with tax The receiver was cleaned and is working fine...for now..on the horizon..a couple of capacitors are going bad and the way the equipment is built not worth the $$$ for the repair even though the capacitors are inexpensive...$75 So I will probably pick it up this weekend And I will put a few $$$ aside so when the time comes...I can replace things. I will have music...and NPR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 28, 2017 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2017 If it's old enough to have those large replaceable electrolytic capacitors, then modern technology has passed it by other than as a collector item. You will get much better sound from something modern, probably at less than the cost of a repair. There are however those who insist on having the sound of the last century as purists. My vinyl did not survive the trip north from Virginia in 73 and all that music has long since been replaced............twice, first on tape and then on CD.

My vinyl did not survive the BiL's cocaine addiction. For that matter , nor did my Marantz tuner & amp, Technics turntable, Pioneer cassette deck and the 300+ cassettes, the Phase Linear 1000 "Dynamic Noise Reduction System", a new, full-face motorcycle helmet, all my SAE SK hand tools (I had the metrics with me) and a nice road bicycle.

There's money in luddites. The modern world doesn't even have room for wave files. Everything is compressed MP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 'compressed' is in the title of the format that alone tells you you are not talking about hi fi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris... Posted September 28, 2017 Share #14 Posted September 28, 2017 I only listen to music in my car, sometimes when I’m working. So much background noise, I’m sure the mp3 compression doesn’t come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
