Hey all, it's been just over year now that I have gotten back into vinyl.
What I didn't realize is how much I would enjoy my return. I can tell you I can not be more pleased. Anyways what prompted my return was last year. I was doing the garage sale seen I came to a turn table the was on the free table. I quickly snapped it not knowing a thing about it. Little did I know what a slippery slop I just jumped on. Anyways, what I ended up with was a Pioneer PL 518 with no dust cover, nor did it have a stylus...However it was free. So I turned to this forum for info and help for a cart. and info. What can I say big thanks.
The PL-518 what I ended up with. What can I say that hasn't been said already about the PL-518. I paired it with a Shure M97xE cartridge. I have grown really fond of this combination. I have purchased 7 vintage turntables in the last year, and the one I picked up free at a garage sale seems to be the one I like the most.
I'm kinda thinking the cartridge should be REMOVED when you're doing this kind of work!
