    HK T-60 resurrection

    I got a Harman Kardon T-60 turntable back around 2007 off craigslist with a couple of boxes of records cheap. Since then I moved from Wisconsin back to Florida, and 2 more moves since then. After I got my SX-1250 recapped (ty Mike Greggs), I finally pulled it out of the box and ordered a belt...

    Record cleaning problem... help, please?

    Goo Gone and lighter fluid are the same thing. Dissolves most glues used on sticky labels. Will not hurt some things that alcohol will.

    Anyone tried the DEFT cartridges from LP Tunes and LP Gear?

    Stumbled across the DEFT cartridges at LP Tunes and LP Gear. Anyone have any experience? The DEFT 2 supposedly has a microline stylus for $99 at LP Tunes, higher at LP Gear. I don't work for either site. Thanks

    Cerwin Vega 12-TR history, information anything?

    The T has only drivers on the front and bottom. The TR also has a rear firing tweeter. I bought a set new about 1978 while I was in Germany, TR version. They were also supplied with a cerwin Vega db-10 bass booster. You can really get some bass with the db10. I drew out a schematic for the 12...

    At long last, SX-1250 resurrected

    I got my 1250 back about 2005 from a craigslist ad, some guy in North Carolina or somewhere. It was sometimes a little slow coming out of protection. Around 2010, it finally refused to come out of protection. I searched on the web for years for someone to recap and repair it, not wanting to ship...

    Did Buddy Rich play drums at your middle school?

    I was in 10th grade in 72/73 in Lawton Oklahoma. I don't remember exactly where I saw him, but Buddy played in a small concert there. I was in band at school from 4th grade through a semester of college. Another time, I didn't go, but the band director (who played trumpet) played at some event...

    Removing labels from record jackets

    Googone and lighter fluid are the same thing. With around 1500 records, most having stickers, lighter fluid has worked for me with no cover damage ever. However, if the labels are the lick and stick kind, I have not found anything yet that will remove them without damaging the label. Use tissue...

    What's the best / easiest way to convert vinyl to digital?

    Nero Wave Editor is free and pretty simple to use. I have done the sound card to receiver thing a couple hundred times. There are differences in the quality sound cards produce. Haven't used USB sound card but doubtful about them. Laptop would be pretty slow compared to a decent desktop (gamer...

    cs 99a or hpm 100 ??

    Traded 99s for the HPMs in my avatar pic. Much better bass, but I suppose my clear ones may sound different than normal ones since they have no insulation inside, can't tell that they need any though. the 99s sound nice, but aren't in the same zip code as HPMs.

    Direct drive vs. Belt Pros and cons?

    From a manufacturing standpoint, belt drive is simpler, less engineering cost, less production (labor) and material cost. That is why the "high end" ones these days are belt drive. Higher profits.
