The Cheap Stuff

I bought an ADC 1700 turntable for $75.00, and a used Grado Red for $40.00

Believe it or not, they make music!

When I pay a lot of money for stuff, I get anxious when it doesn't sound great.

In this case, however, I'm genuinely happy and I'm listening to lots of vinyl just to see if it all sounds good.

I took a really down'n'dirty needle drop and video this morning.

I feel the same way about my old Amber series 70amp. I love spending 10 cents on the dollar and then receiving so much pleasure for so little spent.

I have a friend who's nearly 50 who kept his records carefully stored and clean even though he didn't have a turntable for several years. He just picked up a nice older Dual belt drive table (which also made this model for Thorens) from Craigslist for $60 and an Ortofon 2M Red to go with it. He's been having a great time rediscovering the joys of analog.

I had an Amber Series 70 power amp for about nine years. Very neutral yet engaging amp. Definitely makes good music and there's nothing distracting in its presentation.
