Tooj 17 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 After years of badgering me dad to part with his vinyl collection, he's finally caved in. However, I don't have anything to play them on. Can anyone recommend me a half-decent record player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Have a look at a Thorens turntables Jonny, german precision engineering and all that. Depends what you want, Denon do perfectly adequate models at low prices. If you want to convert the vinyl into digital then get a USB one, if you want to scratch them, high torque vestax of technics You need to think about cartridges too, get Ortofons.

Dr Gloom 20169 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 1210s are still the best, but probably pricey if all you want to do is listen to old tunes. I hear linn, a Scottish company, make nice decks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Right, I've managed to acquire some of me dad's vinyl. I'm going to go back and get more like, as he couldn't find them all. He's also let me have an old record player of his, which will do the job for now until I get my setup sorted. The pick of the bunch for me, had to be this. I was awestruck by the fact he actually had it. :icon_lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
