[BC] Turntables (WAS:Achieving good S/N)

[RadioPower.org]

Hi Kevin,

I have a vintage 1981 Pioneer PL-400 auto/quartz with Shure M95E cartridge.
Not the best auto setup but really nice for the money. I found her minty on
the Bay for about $120. On my main stereo (Pioneer SX-1250) I use a Pioneer
PL-120 belt drive table. I love old Pioneer and JBL gear... reminds me of
the teenage bedroom rock years.
