@musicman257 I use Sony SS-F7000 speakers.  I have since built a tube amp, but I still have the Pioneer SX-780 as a backup unit.

I love collecting records. Only problem is, I need to build a record shelf that fits where I need it. Right now I just have crates all over the floor.

where do u get one of those man.i need to get one for my turntable like to have a counter.

@musicman257 Ebay, just search for hour meter. Get one that runs on the voltage you are working with.

I have the same turntable. What gram number is the best to set stylus pressure ? Also I'm receiving a slight hum coming from the speakers. The unit is grounded & centered as not to be close to the speaker area. I cleaned the connecting poles from the headshell to tone-arm as well. What do you think ? Thanx.

@The21time Depends on what cartridge you are using. The manual for the cartridge will tell you the optimal tracking weight. You need to balance the tone arm beforehand, so that your gram dial will be accurate. If you need help with that, let me know.

Are you still having issues with hum? There are a few things that can cause it.

I have about 350 Lp's just like you a lot of 80's to jazz and rock. I have a Technics SL-1300 with a Ortofon 2M red run by a Carver amps

Great video dude, I agree with what you said at the end how when you listen to a record you don't go back. For myself I love the sound of a record, especially on my old tube powered Admiral record changer.

Keep up the good vids and nice record collection!
