RS also still carries a complete line of phono cartridges. Note - you may need a small pre-amp to hook up a turntable to the "AUX" jack of modern stereo equipment, which often lacks a phono input.

New I know of at least one group that makes turntables by hand
In the Chicago area. My uncle (who has much more than 12 linear feet of vinyl) has one. It rests on oil-cushioned legs (IIRC) and has a plexiglass cover.

They also make tube-based amplifiers.

This is stuff for the serious vinyl audiophile, make no mistake.
Regards,

New Not too hard to find
DJs that do dance stuff (House, Hip Hop, Trance, etc..) still use turntables a lot because they are easier to beat-match with then CDs, where the technology isn't quite there yet to do it right

Most musicians also favor tube (valve) powered amplifiers as well

New Recently bought a $200 direct drive Gemini
from [link|http://www.marsmusic.com|Mars Music] - a Gemini XL500II. It seems pretty good, but is manual (have to remove the tonearm at the end of a record).

I think Todd's main issue is space on his boat, not lack of a turntable though...

Cheers,
Scott.

New That and the records skip in rough seas
Really, my point is I own this content - but its in the wrong format. Seems like the record companies ought to let me get the content in a different format - just trade it in - oh yeah, except that every new format provides a big cash push from people repurchasing favorites.
