Title: Record Store Day
Post by: The Mighty Brian Rowe on April 24, 2012, 12:12:45 pm: Saturday's Record Store Day got me enthused to drag out some old vinyl and give it a listen.

Unfortunately my belt has gone on my turntable.

Anyone know where I might get a new one around Donny?

I could flog you an ION turntable to convert your vynil to MP3 !

I had a mad idea to do my 130 LP.s to PC and then on to I Pod but the thing was smarter than I thought and just copied them straight to I Pod

However I got bored and did just 10 Albums before ditching the ION in a corner ! I also have the 130 LP.s if anyone wants to make an offer for them . I have a list of the lot and can e-mail them to anyone who may be interested

Not bothered about converting them to mp3 either tbh as it's the sound quality of the old vinyl that I'm interested in. I already have a fair few on CD and vinyl.

I''ll keep looking ta.

I had a lovely Rega Planar 2 some years ago, but flogged it on ebay along with the rest of my hifi when the kids came oling and insisted on pushing the tweeter domes in on my KEF speakers. Got about £100 for it.

Post by: The Mighty Brian Rowe on April 26, 2012, 12:28:15 pm: Thanks for that, looks promising. Its only a cheapish 'Eclipse' one - (do they still exist) that cost about £80 so I don't want to spent too much on a belt.
