Re: [ARSCLIST] Turntable Amp. help?



The Greenfield Family:

Sounds like you just need to ground the turntable. There should be a
ground wire on the turntable and a screw on the amp that need to meet.
If not, solder a wire to anything metal that the motor is in contact
with, then screw that to your amp case.

I'm afraid I can't be much help on this.  I am forewarding your inquiry
to the listserv of the Association for Sound Recording Collections
(ARSC). Some folks on that list should be able to fill you in.

ARSC guys,

Please include the Greefield Family in your responses.

  Steve,



  I have a Technics SD-D2 turntable and am in the process of locating a
proper needle for playing the 78's that I'd like to record onto CD's.  I
have an amp that's a Radio Shack Pro Logic/Decoder/amplifier that is
available and newer - but in the past I have used my old Pioneer SX 636
- but it now seems to give off some sort of electrical shock when I
touch the metal on the case...so I'm a little leery of connecting it to
my computer in any way.  I'd appreciate your thoughts on this if you
have a moment.  And by the way - I am using the software RIPvinyl and it
allows me to record the 78 at 45 rpm ( on my turntable) and then process
it in such a way as to speed it up.  We'll see how successful it is!
Thanks for any help you can give me!  I have a very precious old
recording of my grandmother in her "prime" singing and I have never
heard it.  I have NOT played it in fear of damaging it, but if I can get
this needle and then hook up the turntable, I'm hoping to get a good CD
of her voice.



  Many thanks!
