What's your vinyl setup like?

That particular Expedit was assembled by someone who can't tell up from down. Most people are safe from such problems.

Hey kristop, I seem to remember Freaker Pipe coming in with some mail-order coupon thing?
Will I actually get something in return if I send you a dollar?

[morbo]

all of the records i own now were stolen from the local college radio station. no one listened to them anyway, that's why i took them.

Hey, vinyl dudes: I don't know very much about how the technology works so some advice for a budget conscious set up (I don't use my turntable much)

I have a p-mount Ortofon OMP 10 cartridge, which I think works fine,



But my needle broke, which is/was an Ortofon 10, I believe:



Can someone point me to a good, ~$30 or less replacement of the type I need? I am guessing not all needles are interchangeable

Thanks!

Just get a replacement Ortofon Om 10. It's a good entry level stylus that I started with and just kept using. I'd just call up the Needle Doctor and get the right replacement stylus and call it a day.

ugh everyone's equipment looks so great. a vinyl setup would be completely pointless and over the top for me but i still want one..

[staple]

not to sound dense but do you guys just sit in your living rooms and listen to an album?

[captain]

yep

[nibelheim]

for hours most every day

[emotional fascism]

yeah. use my Grado headphones when my lady wants to watch telly though.

[captain]

i live alone and just listen to albums all day. it's pretty cool

[patchperfect]

i live with three other guys so i keep my setup in my room

it's cool though because i always listen to records when i'm on the computer

or since my shitty sony turntable has auto-return, i can put one on every night when i go to bed

[captain]

auto-return is one great thing about shitty turntables

Thread inspired me to finally buy an Expedit so I can get everything set up in my living room as opposed to my office.

i am always surprised to see people who don't use the outer poly sleeves

i am a goddamn nazi about those things, even replace the lousy ones with nice thick ones

I use them, but I hate having to take the sleeve off and put it back on. I also think they look cooler without sleeves.

[patchperfect]

ive been meaning to get around to buying a bunch for all mine

what are the best ones to get in large quantities?

[mattstan]

Nice clicky keyb, kino.

they do but this helps preserve the cover for future enjoyment

[neuartillery]

I would like to get sleeves for most, if not all of my records, but I'd probably need to buy 500 to start. Blech.

[mites]

in a cardboard box prolly all bent up n shit

I've been buying from Bags Unlimited for years and years, and I've got nothing but good things to say about them. This is my preferred sleeve - http://www.bagsunlimited.com/p-4186-12-record-jacket-sleeve.aspx - but they have many others to choose from.

i have no idea where your dollar would go if you sent a dollar to whatever address is on that coupon.

[You're a jerk.]

On Friday I bought a Pro-ject Debut MKIII for £36 off eBay, because the dude listed it wrong. He'd upgraded the cartridge and upgraded it to an an acrylic platter. Guy lost so much money on this. I had to drive 2 hours to get it, but so what, it's pretty brilliant.

[neuartillery]

Did you give him a handsky for his trouble?
