What are you using as a turntable? I think it's great that Panasonic is still manufacturing the Technics SL-1200 series of turntables after what; 25 years? I'm not big into vinyl anymore, myself, because it's gotten expensive in my area (classical, opera and older pop is still fairly cheap, but jazz got pricey and so did new vinyl). That said, I have most of the parts I need to build a phono preamp, and I'd love to try out an old Thorens TD-124 mk II turntable.
