Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Muljao for recommending the Mordaunts - they sound great :-)

....it's OK - I just found this> http://gearpatrol.com/2015/06/03/how-to-adjust-tracking-force-on-a-turntable/ Thanks again - you've been really helpful.

Great advice - thank you! Is adjusing the tracking force possible on a technics D2?....is it relatively straight forward?....

Hello - looking at the photos it looks like a 'P24'?

Hi - I've just bought an old Technics SL D21 turntable which needs a new stylus. Instead of buying a replacement which will cost £10 - would I be able to 'upgrade' with an Audio-Technica AT101EP Cartridge for £25? Would I be able to 'fit it on' - sorry - I clearly know nothing about turntables...

...ok - well, just bought a DD Technics SL D21 for £30....wish me luck!

yes - of course!...it hasn't been played for 20 years - but yes..................

THis is the thing - I need to know what I'm looking 'for'?....what makes a cheap turntable different from an expensive one? I seem to like the 'look' of vintage Technics (not the SL 1200 series) - I've read that they can be 'upgraged' if you buy different cartridges? But how would that make...

Hi - I'm looking on Ebay for a turntable. I have a Vintage Marantz 30 watt amp and some new Mordaunt Short M10 speakers. What exactly is it that I'm looking for in a turnable? Belt drive....direct drive etc?....I've heard that cheap ones damage your vinyl....don't want that obviously! Thanks.

...just reading the reviews on the Mordaunts - appartently is suggests that the speakers are to be used with an 80 watt amp and mine is only 30.....would they still be OK?

Thanks Muljao - they look great, similar to these that I'm watching. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401227476033?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT OK, so 100w is OK with a 30w amp then.....this is all *so* confusing!! Think it's time to press the click button - thanks so...

Hi - I'm watching a pair of Sony 70's speakers on Ebay and the photos show the two speaker parts inside the speakers listed as: 8 ohm NOM. 2w, and 8 ohm 5w 2w and 5w in each speaker - so they have a total of 7 watts per speaker? That doesn't seem to be much power? I have a 2 x 30 (8 ohm)...

8 ohm it is then... Thanks everyone!

Hi - thanks for your advice. I'm actually on an incredibly low budget - I'm looking at vintage speakers on Ebay for no more than £50 - I also like the wooden cased ones anyhow. But most of them seem to be 4 ohm (especially the various Bang & Olufsens that I'm looking at) - so what you're...

Hi - I've just bought a Marantz PM-4001 on Ebay (used) and need some speakers to go with it now. Its specs describe it as having 2 x 30 watts (into 8 ohms). I've no idea what this means, but I *think* if I were to get some speakers that are 4 ohms, they wouldn't be compatible?...they would...
