    Default Hi from a newbie

    Many thanks for letting me join
    So I’ve gone through my loft and have got my stereo system out.
    Thinking back, with my brother, bought this system originally early 70s.
    It consists of a Goldring Lenco GL75 turntable with Shure stylus. Got a brand new stylus sitting in the box. Still got the original box that it came in. Only issue is the plastic lid is damaged in respect of the hinges are broken off.
    Trio amplifier
    KEF speakers.
    Then additionally I’ve got the newer stuff I bought in the early 90s. This being a radio and cassette player.
    Now what to do with it because I haven’t got many of my original vinyls with my rock stuff from the 70s.

    Hello Peter. Welcome to AOS.

    The GL75 is a nice turntable, well worth making use of.

    Lots you can do with a GL75 these days, you can get them to sound half-decent. https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/in...rhotij8t60;www

    Which Trio amp? Which KEFs? Some of the old stuff from both companies is still good by today's standards.

    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!”

    Welcome to AoS Peter,

    Yes, the Goldring GL75 is a good turntable and well suited to fettling.
