| 1129466 | 2010-08-19 07:51:00 | Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows a place in Auckland where I could purchase an new record/LP player (is there a difference between the two). I must admit that I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this subject, having grown up with mp3's :( Reason is that my fathers one just broke and I'm sure a new one would make a great gift; just have to make sure not to buy a dud! Thanks! |

| 1129468 | 2010-08-19 08:15:00 | what snorkbox suggested. i own the LAB-1100 and its a very good turntable for its price. it plays my records extremly well, although it does not have any counter weights or tracking weight settings. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||

| 1129470 | 2010-08-19 08:56:00 | If you just want a turntable, JayCar have one at $95 with analog or USB output. Next up is a turntable with amplifier & speakers (built in) for $119, also with analog and USB outputs. After that it is $239 for the whole deal with all the fruit, record player, CD & cassette players, AM/FM radio and MP# player/encoder. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1129471 | 2010-08-19 08:58:00 | I would be inclined to put some or all of his LPs on CD - much easier to play CDs than LPs. If you convert them to mp3s you could put a good portion of his LPs on a few CDs. You could most probably download most of his LPs which might be cheaper than buying a turntable. But then there are the purists who will tell you that nothing sounds as good as LPs and that much of the quality is lost when compressed to mp3s. I was brought up with 45s and LPs but I prefer mp3s and CDs for their convenience. |

| 1129472 | 2010-08-19 09:02:00 | CD's are fine MP3's are just cheap throwaways with all that compression. Best to rip as flac | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1129473 | 2010-08-19 09:17:00 | As I have already mentioned. More info needed in my humble opinion. Personally I don't have a stereo and use my turntable hooked up to my PC for music. I use Audacity to make CD's from Vinyl which then go into the CD player in my car. I can get approx 200 MP3s onto one CD for playing in the car which works for me. But we don't know yet if amplifiers are needed on the turntable or not as if the Vinyl is being is being played on a stereo system then the turntable just may be plugged into a pre amp or whatever. |

| 1129475 | 2010-08-19 09:56:00 | I bought a similar one of this from Sony. Sounded quite good on my HT system compared to how crappy other turntables I have used in the past sounded like.. www.sony.co.nz |
