Hey, no problem. I actually have a very cool turntable the acts and opens like a CD Player you can see it in action here.
Skip to 1:20 to see the player in action.
Since this thread is about Back in Time’s youtube videos I’ll post my record collection in a new thread over the weekend. I’ll make a YouTube video about it.
You should hear it in real life through my ELAC speakers. So smooth. Sadly youtube videos can’t recreate the sound plus your speakers are different but at least you can get an idea. Many people think records should be crackly but the truth is that a clean record on a good player is very quiet.
I have the Elac Début B6. In Japan where I live these are really expensive at 70,000 yen, that’s 673 US dollars. Amazon link - https://www.amazon.co.jp/ELAC-エラック-…&qid=1476275183&sr=8-1&keywords=Elac+Debut+B6
I was lucky to get a deal on a pair that were used as display speakers (not used) in a glass case for 32,000 yen which is reasonable. They do sound fantastic and powerful enough not to require any subwoofer.
I’m looking at some hifi myself right now. Chasing that smooth vinyl sound you speak of. I started off thinking I was just going to invest 500 bucks in a record player and be done with it.
Man… I had a VIC-20, C64, Amiga 1000, and Amiga 1200 as a kid, and I no longer have any of those systems. i would love to get another Amiga now, but they are so pricey.
