The Cheap Stuff


I bought an ADC 1700 turntable for $75.00, and a used Grado Red for $40.00

Believe it or not, they make music!

When I pay a lot of money for stuff, I get anxious when it doesn't sound great.

In this case, however, I'm genuinely happy and I'm listening to lots of vinyl just to see if it all sounds good.

I took a really down'n'dirty needle drop and video this morning.

Hey, what ELO LP is that? Enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for a sweet pop hook. Have Eldorado but nothing else by them/him. Also - what record clamp do you use? Have fun. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ghosthouse- sorry for the long wait for a response, I didn't realize it had been so long!

The LP is "Out of the Blue" which is my long-standing favorite.

The clamp is actually an ADC clamp that may or may not have been part of the ADC 1700 package originally. I got it from my friend Norman in the 90s, when it was attached to a Yamaha PF-800 turntable.
