    2230b: 2 turntables?

    I have a 2230b and all of a sudden a "multitude" of turntables. I want to run at least two. Since the 2230b has only one phono input, can I just get a preamp and feed a 2nd turntable through that and then into the AUX or even the Tape input on the 2230b? I'm a little hazy on this topic...

    Why are the older idler wheel turntables so highly regarded?

    So I just started getting into vintage audio stuff and I have been looking at a lot of turntables lately. 1 thing that I still don't understand is why some turntables are so much more expensive than others for example the garrard 301-401 I get that these turntables also have a collector's market...

    Home made tonearm ideas.

    Big Project is to make a tonearm, and the result is not until the stylus hit the record and you can listen if everything worth the time and money. But here are, intending finding outs. I am thinking to make it as a strain one or unipivot, basically both are the same concept, but machanically...

    My little collection of Pioneer turntables

    I was cleaning up my PL-115D, preparing to sell it. I decided I would pull out all my current pioneers for a group shot. I didn't have enough room on the table. They all are in good working condition. Enjoy them all, but running out of room! PL-560, PL-514, PL-512, PL-115D and PL-420.

    Spotting audio gear in the movies, TV, etc.

    If you have an eye for cool-looking audio components, you notice that they are sprinkled throughout movies, TV shows, and advertisements. Here is a place to log your sightings. Here's a start. Can you name all the gear in the system Gene Hackman jams with at the end of The Conversation?

    Who made turntables for Radio Shack?

    I know the Tandy Corp. that owned/operated the Radio Shack stores used Asian (Japan & others) companies to build their stuff--then they slapped the "Realistic" label on them....what company had the honor of building most of their turntables?

    Technics SL-Q300 or SL-5200? Which would you recommend as replacement for SL-B200?

    I had a nice Technics SL-B200 that bit the dust a few months ago; the motor seems to have died. I really liked the streamline look of that table and the sound I got from it, so I'm looking for a sort of comparable turntable, probably in the Technics line. Because I had a motor problem with the...

    I have a JC Penny MCS 6001 Turntable (made by Technics). The 33 RPM speed is erratic and will not remain at 33 RPM. The 45 RPM speed is solid and does not waiver. Has anyone experienced a similar problem and successfully fixed it?

    Anyone in Billings Montana? Need a pick, pack and ship

    Found a killer deal on some Yamaha turntables, but they're heavy and the elderly couple that is selling them just wants someone to come pick them up, cheap. They're too weak to ship them out. Total weight for three tables about 90 pounds. Destination is Dallas, TX. Any takers?
