So you must know what i´m refering to , you listen to a cd from a rock band and you hear the same when you´re playing?if you ever played in a rock band , i don´t play any instrument but guitars, electronic keyboards ,drums i can play them with my limited knowledge, as i studied music but give...

I have to agree with you, i´m more into real sound, instruments sounding like when they are played but you prefer a image of what is music being played , it´s a valid opinion i also have many cds and a good cd player, well more than one, and can give the example of the rock albums in cd that...

there are buge diferencies from turntable to turntable, for some reason some are really good and others just aceptable, the cartridge matters ,of course. Lot´s of diferent ways of assembling a turntable makes a lot of diference while playing a record, the cartridge as i said matters, a not good...

i know well the P3 and it´s older brothers and none is good, the last i never owned it but some of my friends bought it, the older ones none works, and i think if you had all those turntables, can you refer one that is not better than any P3 , that will not work without new parts for 10 to 50...

Rega and Project, where? Technics had to decrease a lot the building quality to produce new models, I own 60´s, 70´s, 80´s , 90´s and two recent turntable models , all from known brands guess which work today with perfection while others are in need of repairs no matter the brand. The two...

if it works maybe a unique situation in the world so keep it and upgrade it

You might be right as today´s turntables are very bad, we are almost in the 1970 turntables technology, this between 1.000 to 2.000€ value

Yes, in part is true ,i have 64 years old and still listen well all music i have , the problems with hearing are real but not becoming deaf, also can say that a lot of youngsters before 20 years old, hear a lot less that people around my age, i see the kids in my family since early age with...

I still buy records, not every month but when some titles i have a litle destroyd , i ordered them new again, for prices from 25 to 35€, this in Lisbon, Portugal a store more known for it´s second hand records , named Louie Louie. From Ebay stores i´ve been buying from Vinyl Digital, more...

If i had to buy a new turntable today the SL-1500 C would be it, but all is a lighter version of the 70´s turntable a lot less evolved to the point of being ridiculous

might not need all of that, normally the oil and bearings do not deteriorate after only 20 years and it´s a closed system so even more protected it is, i´m saying this as i have turntables that after disassemble them were still very good, normally the belt is still there working but not at a...

I think ,the most have not dedicated music rooms the living room is where the hi-fi system is installed but the sound is not bad just not at 100% and notice that new components due to the lack of quality are more sensible to the instalation , i for years had a system in my living room, still...

The 2mred its a bad cartridges unless you have a top system and can add what is missing in the cartridge sound, it reads the records with accuracy but a very dull sound , theres the nagaoka around the same price it sounds better to me, the Grado Prestige Gold III its a good cartridge and it as...

I'm using one since 1974 in a Pioneer, sounds really good, no noises or any thing but have a Dual 1224 more old and a buzz came but from the receiver a Dual from the same year was my grandmother system only the cables on the turntable can be not that good anymore, check it by your description it...

I would choose the technics as the PL-71 is older but a good turntables, it might be better the Technics as it is more evolved and easier to put any cartridge, i have a Pioneer like that but wasn't much in use , the technics is direct drive and the arm is common to several technics models, a...
