I have two turntables. What I need is one that plays 78 rpm records. I've got some really old records but no way to play them. Just in case you've already got them I need some of the old Lloyd Green records. Cool Steel Man, Mr. Nashville Sound for starters. I'll take two of each if you've got them. I prefer LP's because they sound equally as good to me and you've got so much more to read without a magnifying glass. |

Just an added note here,,,,, There is software that you can use to remove or reduce hisses and pops when transferring music from records to cd. Can't remember the name of it though. JB |

Yes, my Technics "monster" component system came with a turntable. With all the old vinyl classics I have, I wouldn't be without one! |

b0b- i think it'd be worthwhile- anyway I'd really be interested in what you have available! I've seen titles in Tom's old catalog from the 70's that never made it to tape...but we are all agreed vinyl sounds best. With media mail the shipping/packing expense shouldn't be much... |

b0b, what other choice do you have? You own them, they take up space, and you can't pay the rent with them until you convert them. What else could you do with them? Take up skeet shooting? |

Heartland America sells a combination CD player and turntable in one unit. It is made by Teac and plays 3 speeds 33 45 and 78. The price I belive is $149.00..Im not sure of the 800# but you can look on the Internet for info. It does a good job. Thorens makes a 3 speed with a 78 speed as well but the cost is over $300.00.

Vinyl rules!!!! I have two turntables, the favorite being a Thorens 135 from the early 60's, plays all speeds and has a pitch control. CD's are handy but for an ultimate listening pleasure I choose vinyl. |

I have a serious Thorens turntable and classic Mac's with Klipschorns and a dozen boxes of LPs and 78's in all genres... All in storage on another continent. I can't even find a turntable to borrow here to listen to the HCOA album and put it on CD for myself. But I imagine there defintely are homes awaiting for Tom's old steel records |

b0b, add me to the list of turntable users. I have two systems and three turntables and can play 78, 45, 33 1/3 rpm. I have purchased albums from Tom Bradshaw in the past and am interested in what you will have for sale. Oh, by the way, you might want to check them because I got a warped one from Tom. Some of his storage may not have been optumum. Blake [This message was edited by Blake Hawkins on 25 January 2004 at 03:43 AM.] |

I have a 30 year old AR (Acoustic Research) turntable with a 5 lb platter and an Empire cartridge. It's pretty nice, but it lives in its (original) carton in a closet unless I need it to transfer some LP track to CD. If I were to pick between LP and cassette formats, I think I'd go with LP. The fidelity is better and the speed is more likely to be accurate (cassette players seem to be all over the map regarding tape speed). But once the LP was in my hands I'd transfer it to hard disk and then to CD, and put the LP in storage. ------------------ [This message was edited by Bill Llewellyn on 25 January 2004 at 06:10 PM.] |

Funny thing. I just got through ordering a turntable to pick up at Circuit City today. Have lots of vinyl. I am going to convert most of my LP's and cassettes to CD. I have a storage problem and the LP's take up too much space. I will probably keep all the steel records and take the rest to the local used record shop and see if they want them. Although I have a CD burner in my stereo setup, I am curious as to how you guys hook a turntable to a computer. That software that removes hiss interests me. Gordon... I believe that copying anything that is copyrighted (CD, LP, Tape, Video, etc..) and then selling is illegal unless you have permission from whoever owns the rights. I believe that the law reads that you can copy these things only for YOUR OWN personal enjoyment. I think that you are not even allowed to copy and give away the copies. You are allowed to make a copy and then sell the original as you paid for that (I hope) and it is yours to do what you want with it. I wish this wasn't the case as I want copies of some out of print records and old TV shows that some people have and would pay top dollar for them. And b0b, since I will have a turntable again, I would be interested in some of the LP's also. |

I still have a turntable, and prefer LPs to cassettes, for sonics and graphics both. By the way, I haven't done so myself yet, but I have friends who have invested the 30 or so bucks for a little phono preamp from Radio Shack so they can record their LPs into the computer hard drive. |

Count me in! Though I play CDīs a lot also, Iīll never part with my vinyl records and regularly go shopping around the used record markets. About the difference: Hard to tell. Vinyl records sound a lot warmer, sometimes more pleasant to listen to. On the other hand, when thereīs steel related music Iīd like to play along with, CDīs are more practical to use and Iīve also found that the sound is sometimes clearer if I want to figure out something. But personally, when Iīm looking for a certain record, I donīt really care that much if itīs on vinyl or CD as long as I can get hold of it somehow. Regards, Joe H.

Have a turntable, but mostly use it to copy vinyl records to the computer and burn them to cd. Having said that, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy a LP. Don't really have a strong LP/cassette preference. I have many of both. Sonny ------------------ |

I have a brand new turntable I bought about three years ago. I've never used it because I don't want to have to plug a card in the computer. Is there an easier way? Isn't there an interface that you plug the turntable into, then USB into a computer? Also, don't you have to preamp the signal somehow? Alot of responses here that burn CD's but no one have elaborated on their setup. I have tons of LP's if someone could help out. Thanks |

I have 3 turntables and just recently dug out some of my old LPs and was pleasantly surprised by the great sound quality of a well cared for LP. Also,boxes full of LPs can be picked up at public auctions for a "song" and you just might find a real treasure in the bottom of that box!!! I say list them, B0B! |
