    I'm trying to get into vinyl so I can take my parents' old vinyl off their hands and start my own collection. I have enough money to buy an Audio Technica LP120 but I'd prefer to find something vintage that'll do an equally good job. There's a Yamaha P500 for sale on craigslist near me that's in...

    Need advice on which cart to keep, and which to give away.

    Hi guys, today I picked up a great condition Technics SL-D3. All functions work perfectly and it is cosmetically in great condition. I picked it up for $20 at a thrift store.

However, a post on Vinylengine suggests that this cartridge was marketed as quadraphonic. However, there are four pins on...
