Any Philco members using vinyl as their main audio source? I've been getting back into vinyl the last year or so and have been using a worn Miracord 10H I've had for many years. It has a Shure V15 III and sounds pretty good but still not as good as some CD's on my player. I finally got my old SME arm tuned up with new parts. I'm using a Ortofon SPU cartridge on the arm. I have an original black Ortofon plinth that I'm going to spruce up a bit before putting the Thorens back in it. I went completely through the turn table and it comes up to speed within 1 revolution! I also have a slate arm board. Can't wait to get this thing finished.
There is a Garrard 301 in my garage that has been boxed up for 20+ years. It belonged to my brother. He gave it to me a few months back when he heard of my new interest in vinyl. I may get it out and rebuild it if I like the sound of the Thorens. It had been set up only for 78's with a professional transcription arm when my brother last used it. Nice to get the vinyl spinning again
Here's the refurbished arm and turn table.
