Miniot Wheel 2 Turntable
Apr 18, 2024 11:48:32 #
I still have my Technics SL-1500 Turntable, Stanton 881S Cartridge, Sure V15 MK IV Cartridge, and a few Grado Cartridges, although I prefer the Grace Ruby F-9 cartridge the most. 1.5 grams tracking force.

I gave away my records, and my ELAC turntable in the 90's. Had that turntable since 1969/70 (bought in the military Audio shop in Germany)... Oddly, it did not come with a case/enclosure... Bought that separately.

That's a bargain you can take on your next gravityless ride to Mars to complete your bucketless list.
I saved my old medium tech turntable to show off the original Beatles and better group records from the 60s. Of course I listen to the CDs to preserve the records. and then I listen to the radio in order to save the effort of paying CDs.

To the best of my questionable memory that was what the specs called for. I sold my vinyl setup for a pittance a few years ago when my hearing started getting lousy. I now rely on cd’s and YouTube Music. Not as good sound but at least I can pull up just about every concert and song I ever liked.
Not to butt in, but to minimize wear on your vinyl, I’d try 1-1/2 G if your arm and cartridge will track at that weight. If not, try 2G.

Please ignore - missed your second sentence that you had sold it before I replied

Yes, Elac's were very popular at that time in Germany when I was there - reel to reel tape decks also. (what a PITA!)
Have had and used MANY turntables over the years and finally settled on a Bang & Olufsen Beogram -very simple and un-complicated......! 8-)

Many new turntables let you record to a CD while the record plays.

Yeah I checked with my friend who also had the Stanton cartridge and he confirmed the specs called for 3 grams…which was indeed heavy compared to its peers. He said he lowered the weight to 2 grams and it worked fine and it could have been even less without affecting the Shure tone arm’s tracking.

No thanks! I'm happy with "traditional" turntables. Jerry, yes turntables can be expensive but one < $1,000 can do a good job. Check to see what radio stations use!

I don't think they use turntable anymore.

I saw on YouTube something they used for commercials and promotions. It resembled an 8-track tape, but it worked differently.

Yes it's similar but quite different. The 8 track has 8 tracks and 2 channels so it plays 2 tracks at a time and play thru the tape 4 times. The cartridge used in radio station has only 2 tracks and only 1 channel. Only 1 track is used for audio the other is for cueing purpose. It's mono but runing at 4 times the speed of 8 track and the track is 4 times as wide so it's of much higher quality than 8 track.
