Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

DJ'ing out must be rough on gear. Mine never travel so I can get by with my knock-offs.

I need to find the power cord to my 45 turntable (I think left it in BK, need to ask the wifey). I have everything for my other 3 turntables.

come back and get 'em some other day...

@UM: Technics 1200s should be able to withstand the knocks of club DJing. Wait, is that what you're using, Kris?

Kris did you get your bid in for the Frank Wilson acetate?

@Little Danny - agreed, enjoyed the Joe-L.

I like the Audio Technica knockoffs of the 1200s because I can afford 'em? Mine don't earn me any money...and the ATs play 78s.

Aye, yeah, that 78 speed is sooooo sweet

greetings Kris; homies
Avatar 🥁 10:26pm
Kris Holmes:

UM, LD, yeah it is rough, they go in road cases but they still get bumped & every bump affects the tonearm bearings eventually so they get worn spots where the movement occasionally sticks. 3 were already a bit worn when I bought them when I arrived in California but they got me through for a while & were cheap. Two came in the container of stuff from NZ & that has definitely affected them. So yeah, all my 1200s are struggling right now. I can fix them all but it involves replacing the tonearms on them all. Which at $130 a pop isn't in my budget right now, so y'all are gonna have to excuse some skips LOL
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
Little Danny:

@Kris: damn, mate, that is some heavy 1200 use!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:30pm

@danny - that's debatable ... b/w and now i'm going to have station manager ken's "sympathy for the devil" show from a few weeks back in my head...ha ha.

Hey all! I think the Technics tables were not that hot for a while, have read more about them recently, being discovered by audiophiles, which is generally a bad thing for prices.

I can't comprehend audiophiles desiring those road warriors. There are much better suited decks for living room listening, that are designed for a stationary existence.

who knows, i'm just glad I have a stockpile & the soldering skills to repair them as needed :)

If we have to make hard decisions about who gets in the bunker/shelter...you know, "after"....we want the dude with soldering skills. For music and other sundry necessities and amenities.

Avatar 🥁 10:46pm
Kris Holmes:

trying to convince Otis that he wants to lie in the lid of the 45 box more than jump on the turntables, so far so good......
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
doctorjazz:

UM, that was the take on these in the audiophile world for the longest time. Seems some now think the direct drive makes for good solid speed solidity (and better sound, natch). Fussy belt drive tables were home gear for the longest time, but the Technics have gotten noticed.

As for getting taken for the bunker, afraid I'll be the last, won't be too much help with those kind of skills. Oh well...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
Little Danny:

Over here we're all in favor of Otis getting directly involved with the turntables
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:48pm
coelacanth∅:

i'm happy with my techniques. don't know when it was made (sometime between the mid-70s and early 90s) and don't know (or care) what model it is.
i used to like the belt-driven semi-auto (lifts but doesn't return) duals. strictly for home use; but maybe not designed for as much use as i gave them.
then one needed a tone arm and the other a spindle, and though they looked and acted about the same the parts were not interchangeable; and by then dual had made repair parts unavailable. (& 'twas pre-internet, at least for me) so i chucked 'em.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:50pm
Little Danny:

I actually think I remember seeing that Eddie and Ernie, just 'cause it was weird to see E&E on Checker
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:50pm

Go Otis go!
Avatar 🥁 10:54pm

Good thing with Technics 1200s is basically the whole thing is readily available for replacement parts & upgrade modifications. So as a base deck for whatever they are actually pretty versatile.

Man, Kris, that almost is verbatim of what survived my move. I'm obviously not an "audiiophile", as I haven't hooked up my 'audiophile speakers', and I've been here for three months, (Still putting together broken cd towers and LP shelves.)

Hey man you're more than welcome!, first time listening!. I always found My Love by Jessie Hill so moving.If analyzing it closely you will find his vocal track out of tune and such but that is what makes it for me...that human quality.
