  1. Sorry to hear about the retirement, I hope you make the best of it.

    I have really slowed down on the buying, trying to enjoy what I have , and I really dont think I am missing much. Sure there are some great deals on CL, but I just bite my tongue.

    I did buy a Harmony remote.

    Good luck guys.

  2. I bought a new stylus for my Pioneer PL 41 from e bay, I put it in and it sounds horrible. The best way I can describe it is "shrill" lots of distortion, sounds like an AM radio.

    I just pulled the old one out and pushed this one in. I have put the old one back in.

    even the GF said "That sounds like crap, put the old one in".

    Any ideas, the new one looks exactly like the old one.

    I am stumped.

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Bruce,

    Not sure if you ( or anyone else) can help. But so far the cds have been sounding great, and I am sure they will improve once I get new carts on the TT. however, right now I am recording an entire album, so each cd just has one track, It doesnt recognize separate songs. Is there something in Audacity where I can "mark" between songs so I could skip to a certain track on a cd player? Just curious.

    Thanks,

    rich

  4. To all that have replied, thanks for the info.

    I was toying with the idea since I saw a pair of cabinets on the Denver CL, but due to cost, the smallness of my apt , and having a place to work on them, I dont think I am going to try it. The cabs look pretty beat up. I was going to post the link, but it is gone.

    Again, thanks for the info.

  5. Glad you are enjoying the beer.

    I am certainly ejoying the TT. I ordered two headshells for it the other day, that way I can play with the carts that I have.

    ran into a problem with my camera over the weekend, but I will get some pics as soon as I can.

    Thanks again Kevin, you rock !!

  6. Yup, a great place indeed. Can't tell you how many times people have gone out of their way to lend that extra hand.

    Oh, don't just hit that record store, try some estate and garage sales and local Salvation Army etc.

    I checked out a few yard sales today, nada.

    Went to the vinyl shop and got 5 lps for $17, and they are in great shape. SOund awesome.

    Now I just need to shop for a new headshell.

  7. I am totally enjoying the vinyl and the best part is that there is a used vinyl store 2 blocks from my place.

    Dennie, I agree this place does seem more like family, however, there is much less bickering here over equipment and such.

    Since I put the raquet balls under the TT, and with the increased weight of this new TT, I have hung up my ballet slippers, thankfully.

  8. I had posted a while back asking about advice in getting a turntable.

    Flatgrass ( Kevin) pm'd me stating that he had a Pioneer PL-41 that he would let me have for the cost of shipping ( Washington DC to Denver, CO). I said sure, that would be great. Kevin packed up the turntable in three different boxes and sent them out. Everything came thru undamaged(he packed this stuff up like it was Fort Knox). I am now the proud owner of a beautiful TT, and when I e mailed him to see how much everything was He just said that he wanted enough $ for a 12 pack and some beef jerky.

    This is just another great example of the fine people on this site. I hope to someday be in the position to "pay it forward" so to speak and help out a fellow member.

    Just wanted to share this story. And say thanks to Kevin, and those of you that have helped me out in the past.

  9. I am actually usint a USB from the ART to my computer.

    The ART IS your soundcard in this instance.

    Go into the preferences menu (Ctrl-P) and look at the settings under the audio I/O tab. Make sure the record in stereo box is checked.

    Bruce,

    I will check that next time I am home, but I am pretty sure I have already tried that. I will let you know.

    Bruce,

    I finally got a chance to play with it and that was exactly what was wrong.

    Thanks for your help.

    Rich
