ahem.. Hello!

I wanted to stop in, and say hello. I am a little on the gray side (ok what's left is mostly gray), and spent a lot of my youth listening to albums (mostly 70's rock) in my spare time. The 70's became the 80's, which melded into the 90's and CD's came out. I gave away my old Pioneer PL-705.. and haven't played anything vinyl since then.

Recently, my nephew was checking out my old albums, and clued me in on the reawakening of vinyl. So I bought a used Pioneer PL-7 ($20 on CL) and a new cartridge/stylus. Not knowing about the previous owner(s), or the usage of the TT, I figured I should clean and lube it before attempting to convert my analog youth into digital. A search online for that info, brought me here.

I've read quite a few threads, but because I have no real practical smarts on today's TT's and their equipment.. I'm just a reader.

Thanks for your time!

Funny. I thought that the mid-Atlantic (ocean) was near the Equator (with the Northern and Southern portions being in the respective hemispheres)!
 
Who knows? He mis-spelled a lot of stuff so his post was hard to figure out. :D Welcome to AK!

Welcome to AK! What place on Earth is "north side of the southern mid-atlantic"?

As moinau noted, the mid-atlantic is pretty much the mid-coastal region of the eastern US along the Atlantic Ocean. Lately, I've seen weathermen and weatherwomen (staying PC here) break the areas down further, by calling them the northern mid-atlantic and/or southern mid-atlantic.. so in protest of that, I went the oxymoron route. I'm originally from Baltimore (lovingly called a Baltimoron) and hence go for anything moronic!

If you wanted to find me, you could just drive north on I95, keep your passenger window down and listen for loud music. That's me!

Thanks for the welcome(s)! Glad to be here :thmbsp:

Sorry "guiller" this is the new geography, mid-Atlantic is now further north. :D

Meteorologist are funny people, I know, I was one of them. :D
 
Welcome Spelingchamp! Hope you're able to reignite your interest in vinyl and start rediscovering your stuff.

Cheers also from Buenos Aires (I don't know what the geographic term for this city is right now, Guiller will clue us in but I call it "shithole" :))
