MC Cartridge break-in?
Here's a tip from the Psychic:Buy a cheap (99 cents) 12 inch rap or club music single, 45 RPM if possible. Use it to break in the cartridge (make sure the volume is way down!). I play it about 4-5 times per side each day for the first few days and...

help me with cheap tape deck.
Why don't you get an A/D converter and burn copies of your vinyl? Kind of going backwards using a cassette deck. I have a Nakamichi BX-1 I bought at a garage sale for one dollar. I'll give it to you free if you pay the shipping. It will take about...
