ParisInAKilt Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Bought a record player today. The Rega RP1 performance pack. Seems an impressive turntable for the price. Got a Cambridge audio amplifier and Focal Chorus 807 speakers. Sold my collection a few years ago, a disaster in hindsight but slowly building up a collection again.

FuNsTeR Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I got a Ariston Acoustics turntable years ago for my separates ... paid about £200 for it at the time ... as I still have a fair bit of vinyl from the 80s and early 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Can't fit the speaker cables. I'm hoping they are the wrong size or I'll look particularly silly when I go back to the store tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it! I knew there was a thread about this somewhere. Got one if these modern turntables for Christmas. Loving it. Records are bloody expensive nowadays though. Gonna have a rake around my dads loft in the new year and my uncle has said he has a load I can get. It’s also got a cassette deck built into it, just received a delivery of The Complete Stone Roses this morning. Was in hmv the other day, my 10 year old son was particularly perplexed as to why we were looking at “calendars” 😂 He was equally disgusted to see a babies “bits” on the front cover of Nevermind 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve picked up a few for a £3/4/5 whereas the same LPs on eBay and in record shops and fairs are probably £10/15. The condition of the covers are a hit and miss though tbf I need a new sound bar for mines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From vast experience I would suggest 1/2 can of Red Stripe smeared over them lovingly, and perhaps a glass of vodka and lime, just to provide that authentic sticky sensation and sound. And of course , one of your wifes high heels , to add the odd scratch or 10 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
