    Looks like a new old RP-500 turntable ...

    Hi guys, I've just won an auction for an RP-500 turntable (with new cartridge). While I wait for a chance to collect it (using a very old very plasticy and tacky yamaha), I thought I'd see if anyone has experience with this or other Rotel TT's. So step up and don't be shy!

    Cheers, Ben

    My first piece of Rotel gear was a turntable in early 80's. I don't even remember the model but it was an excellent piece for the money.

      Thanks Jerry, I wanted to take a step up (even if only a smallish one) vinyl-wise without a big outlay. An excellent condition Rotel TT, with a new cartridge for $100AU -I don't really see where I can go wrong.

      Cheers, Ben

          Best Turntable Cartridge for $400-$700?
          by Russ L
          Yes I've done it. Despite my ravings about my Cambridge Audio 840C CD player sounding so analog :blah: I've just purchased a Clearaudio Emotion Turntable with a Moon LP 3 Phono stage. Well its just plain fun isn't it! And I had an empty top shelf on my audio rack to fill... looks great. Was wondering...

          Looking for new cartridge + stylus - Help appreciated
          by kiko
          Hi everyone

          I am shopping for a new cartridge + stylus for my turntable, or so I think. I currently own an entry-level Stanton T50x turntable bought 5 years ago when I wasn't too sure going back to vinyl would be as exciting and feasible as it is now. I run that Stanton through a Yamaha...

          Phono stage upgrade
          by borat58
          I have the following system : VPI Scout turntable with Ben Micro Ace (high output) cartridge, MF A1008 amplifier and ProAc Response D25 speakers. I am using the built-in phono stage.

          Turntable build
          by flamethrower1
          So in my quest of audio nirvana from from a record lathe, I came up with this design.
          I have only run it with my test cartridge which is an Ortofon Blue and it sounds very nice.
          Have yet to build the motor housing and controller for the BLDC motor, it sounded great even with the VPI motor....
