Was visiting my mom (93) and she persuaded me to bring home the turntable they bought in the 1980s, a SystemDek IIX, and some of her albums (as many as I had room for). I cleaned it, replaced the bearing and belt, oiled it and rebalanced it and it is really performing well. Of course I had to buy several other items, including isolation feet, a new disc and stylus cleaner, amp (NAD) and speakers (Klipsch 600M). This is in a small room, my study, and it sounds great.
It has been decades since I had a turntable working so it is nice to be able to play my albums again.
One thing that seems to be new these days is a weight over the LP spindle. I guess these reduce movement of the vinyl - but are they really worthwhile? If so, what to look for?
