Aaaargh, what have I done...?
After watching "Oblivion" the other night and loving the role that vinyl played in the 'keeping it real' theme of the film, in a moment of madness, I've just bought one of these:
It cost me £44, and needs some TLC, but is bascially sound. Comes with an Ortofon cart....
Have I just made a big mistake....

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

You're in for a haunting experience if you can stand the irritation that goes with it. This is a lifelong passion for most of us that get involved.

Trouble is, if the bug really bites, you are on a long, painful and expensive descent into vinyl hell! Most of us are there already.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Admins, my apologies if I started this in the wrong subforum - I meant it as more of a general "OMG" thread rather than a specific vinyl discussion.
I've been to Vinyhalla (hella?) before, believe me. I grew up with vinyl, and my "serious hi-fi" history includes a Rotel RP3000 and Thorens TD150. I was a DJ on my campus radiio station using Technics SL 1200's when they were new....
Three years ago, I put two TT's on dweebay, and a large crate of LP's in the local charity shop.
"That's it". I said.
"No more turntable nonsense, with all that static and stylus malarky" I said.
"Damn, I miss real hi-fi" I said.....
Okay, as we're now in the analogue thread, here goes...
Conventional wisdom says mass load the hell out of the TT to improve performance, and I would normally have agreed, but then I became the owner of a pair of Harbeth speakers, and......

Okay, turns out I didn't buy the TT - apparently it was an expired listing that dweebay summarily re-listed .
So, anybody got a cheap TT they don't want....
Think I'll post in the appropriate forum.
