Hello Ward!

I have a modest collection. Only about 800-1100 LPs. Maybe  
about 400-500 45's.  I haven't put them to much use since the  
quality of sound is noticeably not as good as I remembered some  
of them to be.  The speakers are fine, and professionally  
rebuilt. Maybe my ear is conditioned to the more consistent  
sound from a CD.  However, I learned that a new needle/ 
cartridge pair is probably long overdue. It is recommended that  
the needle be replaced every few hundred hours of play.

What make/model of record player do you have?

I've gone through several, but ultimately received a fine  
Pioneer PL-A35.  I love the steampunk look of the balancing/ 
pressure mechanism with the wire and weight.
