The Technics SL-B2 is €50 and the Pioneer PL-12D is €100. I currently have a Dual 616Q that malfunctioned. Would these be...

    A few months ago I got this Technics SL-7 from an estate sale, ladies dad passed and she was clearing out his house and sold me it for 80 bucks.

    Technics SL 1360 Cartridge Advice Needed

    I purchased a Technics SL 1360 from a guy on Craigslist Saturday with the idea of cleaning it up for one of my kids. It came with a Shure V15 type iii cartridge, which I was told was working but needed a new stylus. With that cartridge, it seemed like a good deal. The guy sent me a video showing...

I also own a Nikko TRM 750, but I'm not sure if it needs servicing (changing capacitors, etc.). The speakers I'm...

    LF pretty amp with VU meters and plenty of power and good value

    I only have my Pioneer AV-R to drive the B&W N803 at the moment. There's also my EL34 tube amp, but I'd rather not damage that baby, I guess (through using it constantly, I mean). Also, there's a little minime on the way, so the tube amp will likely have to disappear into storage for a couple...
