It's true. In accordance with the urging of a number of people on here, I hit the yardsales this morning and found a nice looking Technics SL-BD1 turntable for $15. I hooked it up on my stereo and it plays.. but the signal is very faint and tinny. I'm listening to the vinyl of "801 Live" that I bought last night and I have to turn my stereo's volume _way_ up to hear the record. If I had it turned up this loud for a CD/tape/whatever, it would be painfully loud. I can actually _hear_ the little flashing clock in my stereo if that gives you any indication of how high my volume is set. By the looks of that cd vs. vinyl debate, lots of you people are vinyl experts. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Once/if I get it working properly, I _promise_ to run to the record store and buy a Gescom record.
