    The vinyl player thread!

    Good shout on Dual, AT, etc. The 505 was Dual's workhorse if memory serves. I agree about the importance of speakers/headphones, and would only add that the front end is important. The cartridge plays a massive role.

    The vinyl player thread!

    I second the idea of looking into Pro-ject turntables. If you don't mind used, there are a lot of options. When I got back into vinyl I had a Thorens TD-150. Prices have probably risen, but it's an excellent deck. I now have a TD-165 with an SME arm although my system is in bits due to a house...

    Good choice. I saw BB King at the Club Casino in Hampton Beach, NH and he signed my Live at the Regal album. In fact he went from one side of the stage to the other after the show and signed anything people put in front of him...and my friend and I had a chat with him in his limo afterwards...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hi, Yes - I don't ride any more, but I used to have a Moto Guzzi LeMans 1000 and a Ducati F1 Laguna Seca before I migrated to four wheels. Very different bikes, but each great in their own way. I road across the US on the Guzzi more than 20 years ago.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hi all. US expat living in the UK. Found this forum whilst researching pea coats. Not a luddite but I do drive old Italian cars when I can, listen to LP records, and enjoy well made things from yesteryear. Trying to up my style game, so here to learn. Cheers! =Tom
