No pics yet, but just ordered the stuff to get my Rega P2 up and running again. VTA adjustment collar, Grado Prestige Black, and the stainless stub and weight from an RB-300 arm to replace the silly plastic coated screw one on my RB-250.
Also got a decent alignment plate coming and a digital stylus force scale. Gonna be back up and jamming in no time.

It's such a romantic hobby I think. Just nursing the best sound out of a turntable, an art and a science. I still have fond memories of spending whole summer days playing my parents Moody Blues records. Turntables generate an alternative reality.
New to me, 30th Anniversary VPI Classic. If you have never seen one in person, it's hard to explain how massive this thing is.
Unfortunately, the Grado Sonata will probably have to go due to hum on the first 1-3 songs. I have a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood and Goldring 2400 on the way to check out.

this is the crop of my harvest of the last 2 weeks. Really not bad. Some are quite old. One (Annie Fisher) was partly rotten on the back due to moisture but the LP was Ex. But hey, I got that one for free! I am also really pleased with the Arrau Beethoven set, Philips plum mono luxury box with hardwood spine and gold lettering. And one more quirky Westminster Gold cover (4 voices).
And since this is a picture thread... I thought I would let the colours shine through on black vinyl. Like a clarion in rainbow colours. I really can't get more dynamic contrast out of an 8bit RGB. Not the easiest photo to take but the result is quite pleasing to me (only cropped in Photoshop, nothing else, it's pure au naturel). It's 1920x1080 so you can use it as background if you want.
Oops, I lied, I used burn to push my DAC (upper left) to the background. The white cable was just a slight bit to visible.

This looks serious - congrats. VPIs are rare over here - how much does it weigh - the platter in particular ?
But it is a pity they did not allow for less than optimally shielded cartridges to be used - that hum is a no-go. Sonata is such a nice sounding cartridge ... IIRC, it has been jumping from table to table at your place, wasnt' it ?
