Okay, forget your high-end audiophile equipment for a moment and give me some suggestions on a reliable and decent-sounding turntable for under $100. My own is showing its age (1987, to be exact, and it wasn't top of the line then) but I've never had any complaints about its performance or sound. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

It doesn't exists.

It's a Technics SL model. Complete with that cheesy grey-black and chrome futurist finish that 80s equipment makers seemed to love. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

It says "SL-J100". Not a lot of info about it on the net, but I picked it up on clearance at a music store the summer before my senior year of high school. I remember thay also had a Roland TR-808 for about the same price...that would have been a better investment!  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Oh yeah -dems say Ortofon styli in perticoolar shouldnae be cleanit wiv alcohol-solution due tae th' binder used bein' noo too fond o' alcohol.
Wallace ha' dis same Ortofon fer cummin' on 8 yar now, an' ah washes needle mebbe 4 times a week wif 60% alcohol (onna camel hair brush). No prob. An' needle still luks prime unner a microjobbyscope.) |
