I bought a Pro-ject 1.2 off of audiogon (my first TT) and just got it set up last night. Since I only own a few records right now, I called a friend of mine who has a bunch of original pressings of 70's stuff (Sabbath, Zeppelin, Doors, Hendrix, Deep Purple, etc.). Her records are in great shape (she got them off a lady who won them from a radio station back in the day), and it was a really fun way to break in my new hobby!

I was considering getting a new cart (a lot of people seem to like the Grado Red) for the Pro-ject, but I think I'll stick with the original for now (an oyster). I'm spending all my spare cash on vinyl as it is.
