Thread fail. Wait. Was that Air Supply faintly playing to a pitch black screen?

Let me revise that.

I still have the turn table I bought in 78 and still use it. I have close to 300 albums.

Nice! I love the sound of vinyl. A friend with a large album collection treats me to some vintage vinyl when I visit.

I had one of those Garrard zero 100 turntables. I guess the jury is still out if that was just a gimmick or not.

I put together an "analog nook" in my living room.
Denon turntable with ADC cartridge and needle, feeding a 1975 Harmon Kardon A500, out to Klipsch RF-25 towers and JBL sub.
All on a custom stand matching rest of furniture in the room.

Still rolling with my Techincs SL-3200 for my office system. Just a small Denon reciever and a couple NHT SB1s. Love the vinyl sound, the ritual of cleaning an album, then playing it while perusing the art work on the sleeve and album jacket.


Still have nearly every record I ever bought. ~200 or so in my office and another 50 either too scratched or too embarrassing for display.



I rip most of my albums for digital access. Kind of a pain to do it right but worth the effort.

What is the make and model of the turntable?

I have a Rega 1 with an old Audio Technica AT12s that I bought back in the mid 70's. I have a quad system.
I had a post of my system.

I'm currently in the process of cleaning my vinyl with this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The cleaning works great. After cleaning, the record goes into a anti-static sleeve.

It's an Audio Technica belt drive. Nothing fancy, but I have several LP's that aren't available on another format. I have a disc washer that I have yet to use. Some of the popping is actually soothing and sentimental.
