For those not familiar with this turntable, it is a 77/78 vintage unit that has a corian base. The thing weighs like 25 pounds. This helps dampen vibrations down.
Since I am remodeling my kitchen and dining room, and the whole house is torn apart, it will be a while before I get to hook it up and use it. I also picked up a new Yamaha 667 receiver that will replace my vintage Yamaha receiver. The old one will go in my man cave with my old turntable.
I can't wait to play with the new equipment.

I still use my old Pioneer 727 with my baby Advents-great sound out of them but I need a new turntable too.
The old Kenwood turntables were very nice, and that AT cartridge is "bright", great for rock. I wouldn't know where to place it weighing as much as it does though.
Enjoy.
I gave it up about 5 years ago.
Went digital.
I mourn for the lp days. The artwork, the liner notes, the stickers and surprises. Nothing like it.
Did you install tie rod guards on your new turntable?

On a high end turntable like this, they are stock.
I almost picked up an ortofon cartridge for it, but could not justify it at this time. I sense one coming though.
I agree about the lp having the whole package. The band Yes has great artwork on their albums. Way more visible and enjoyable in the lp format. Not even kind of the same on cd sized packaging.
Not a sarcastic comment, $$$$$$$$
Nothing good is cheap
Vietnam beat my ears to tears
The Audio Technica that is on there should sound alright, but alright just isn't going to cut it.
Still have the old albums but no player.
The good old day of playing a scratchy record...
