Stand Up Comity
I'm setting up a second stereo system in the den. I've got a Yamaha CR-620 receiver on the way (I had a 420 in college, lost it when my apt was burgled in Memphis. Hey, that adds more to my blues credentials! And there was that guy who indirectly threatened me with a gun, but I digress.) The receiver has two tape loops; I'll use one to a cassette deck and another to the US122. So I'm shopping for a turntable for xfering LPs to CD or tape. I've got a JVC QL-A2 in the living room, direct drive semi-auto with the Grado Black cartridge and that sounds fine. So, I've got a couple of thoughts.
1. Do I need pitch control on the turntable I record with? It seems that some LPs were recorded a bit out of tune.
2. I really like S shaped tonearms, maybe for their nostalgia. There are a lot of turntables on ebay with straight tonearms, and I know they're lighter and stiffer, but they don't look as cool. Am I silly?
