digression: I must have listened to about 60 different LP in the last few weeks. as a result of a spring clean of records. I try to go through all of them once a year (600 plus LPs plus nearly twice that 7 inches). I had never really cleaned the records before but did about 60-70 of them this...

aww... I was hoping you got a turntable. when did last have one? do you still have your old records?

remember watching this a few years ago too - tech moan is cool (see video at top of this page) also without thumped-sters and you tube i would not have - - got the stylus arm balanced, - realised you need to give the banana plugs a good shove in ( it will go in and it won't break the speaker)...

wow, that must be as minimal as it gets. 'utilitarian' doesn't even come close. Edit: anyone hazard a guess at how much the components cost ? ''Anyone who says vinyl is better than a CD is a muppet. That said, here's the opening of Sgt Pepper - the best goddamned record of all time..." LOL

best thing about last few weeks is that i had bought loads of records in last two or three years i haven't listened to enough and at least this is giving me a chance to put that right.

one of my speakers isn't working but not playing records at all for possibly months ? the horror, the horror...

the banana plug cables i have to connect my amplifier to the speakers only work when they feel like it so i want to get some new replacement cables. i'm too lazy to do any research so any suggestions on replacement options would be much appreciated. i want something that is ready to use. my...

hopefully you have got an amplifier and cables now and have this sorted out. reminds me of my saga on this thread a few years ago : (see posts #156 to # 179 from October 2017 for a laugh) i had gotten an Audio Technica 120 and first had difficulty getting the speaker jacks into the back of...

yeah - the symptoms sound like that but the record player does have a pre-amp and the amplifier has a phono input. a few years ago i asked on this thread for advice and made sure i got something with a pre-amp after being told what that was. the turntable is an Audio Technica AT-LP120 it's...

turntable sounds fine through my old stereo but distorted through the new set up. i bought a new stylus this month and both the new stylus and old one sound good through the old set up. if it's something's wrong i'd say it's the amp. anyone could have told me i hadn't plugs in properly but...

thanks for everyone who who offered me suggestions. but guess what Pete was right ! if you keep shoving the Banana plugs they will go in. sorry for wasting peoples time. at their widest point they don't seem to want to go in any further put once you get over the hump they slide in nicely. so...

hope photos above are viewable. note on the back of the amplifier photo : on the top row the plastic bungs are still in the speaker terminals. on the bottom row I've removed them

hi cheers - I don't know how to upload photos - never did it. notice I have no avatar ! I'll try to pin someone down to help upload photos as I don't have a smart phone. both sets of speakers I mentioned are 6 ohms. the standard banana plugs I tried were too big. other types are thinner. there...

I have bought a PIONEER A20 Amplifier and WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 9.1 Speakers. can anyone please tell me what BANANA PLUGS i need on the speaker cables ? i bought Sewell Silverback Banana Plugs but they don't fit the amp (i removed the caps from the speaker terminals on the amplifier) and...

i asked for advice here in 2015 and ended up getting an Audio Technica 120 thingy. a copy of the standard Technics turn table it costs less than 300 and has a pre amp which I needed . for some reason there is a metal plate in the base which is nearly half the weight of the thing (it's heavy...

i have a ten year old small sized Sony turntable (cost 150) but for quite a few years it has been getting stuck in a groove when playing if i tap on the floor it starts moving again no problem. this has happened with about 100 records so it's hard to pin point why it happens. but it never...
