Vinyl Asylum Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ. |
|
Ok newbie here with Vinyl just received my new TT (Clearaudio Emotion) today along with a Pro-ject phono and a cartridge. I dont have a clue as to how to setup the TT, plus I dont even own a single Lp :( record cleaners, alignment tools, other tools, TT table and the list goes on. I am not saying that I regret my decision but for what I can see that Vinyl is going to be a PITA hopefully my journey into the new adventure of Vinyl will be worthwhile.Has anyone tried to do the switch and went back to Cd's? Just curious...
