I think the connections on turntables are pretty much universal. On my home theatre receiver, I think it's hooked up to auxiliary in, or audio in, or something like that. For audio receivers (if there's even a distinction between audio and dvd receivers, I'm not sure), I'd be shocked if they didn't have some sort of input for a turntable. You'd have to look at the back of it.

Actually most systems still have a desigated 'turntable in' because a real turntable needed special grounding or you got hum. Older systems and the cords used to have a little ground cable in addition to the signal (rca) cable. Newer ones may not have that extra little ground thingy but I think it's built into the cord coming off the turntable. Or maybe they've figured out a way for the really new turntables to use just a normal rca signal out, I'm not sure...once you get up to the 1200 series turntables, there's no need for getting anything else unless you truly want to go high-end..

good morning party people...

I remember my dad getting a combo turntable, cd player, dual casssette player and radio and thinking we were hot shit.

Yeah, I remember that too, and drooling over the Technics Denon and Pioneer 'stereo systems' that came out in the 80s. I worked my butt off and bought separate pieces because that was what 'audiophiles' did, they turned their noses up at the 'packaged' systems that were sold at obscene prices

I still have my original Technics dual cassette deck, 3 or 4 different recievers, 2 eq units, 3 different CD players and a few pairs of speakers. I doubt I will ever sell them, I've had them forever and I'm so used to listening to different pieces for different music that I just couldn't.

This is my dream turntable, if I'm ever filthy rich

$150,000. Yeah, dream on!!

I want one of those, but can you listen to the music without the comp?

Don't get me wrong, I love vinyl... I have quite a respectable collection at my parents house - since they actually own a record player.

 

[bono_212]

I Can seeeeee you

ETA: Drat!

Only thing I don't like about that USB turntable is... it looks too modern. I want something old fashioned to play the old fashioned records I have. Then maybe I'm better of buying those Crosley wood design ones from ebay.

Plus I have no interest in the ripping function! I did not buy records to rip them to mp3! I bought them to listen to audio in record format.

This one records direct to CD

and is also $300

http://www.crosleyradio.com/prods/cr249.html
$150 and just the turntable, but it has the USB connection


ETA: Just noticed that whole, not interested in ripping thing

 

[Zoots]

Why spend that much when there are players available on ebay for $69.99 plus shipping?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, this is not sexy talk. :bored:

 

[bono_212]

Um....Umm......UMMMM....I CAN'T THINK OF ANY VINYL RELATED DOUBLE ENTENDRE

The other thing is that USB turntable I posted the link for only plays 33.33 and 45 RPM records. Is this a cause for concern? Are there many 78 RPM records? I have no clue.

April, would it be sexy talk if I placed the needle on some sexy music?

If you have a 78 then you are most likely listening to Sinatra or older buddy

oh yeah, like we need more of that... I'm surprised you and BoMac haven't worn out your keyboards with all that sexy talk...

you can choose to take a double meaning from "keyboards" if you want

That's all I needed, thanks! 33.33 or 45 is good enough then!

Hi Amy.

I keep trying to buy a 78 just so I can have one in my collection, but I can't find any with ANY song I know
