Hartamophone Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Pulled the old turntable (Dual 1258), amp (Sherwood S-9180 CP) and speakers (Zenith Allegro) out of my Mom's basement yesterday. Grabbed a couple of records at Value Village on the off-chance the neglected 30 year-old gear would work. Lo and behold, it all seems to be working perfectly. Pumped!Any recommendations for record stores in Ottawa? I live on Elgin, so Birdman and Compact in the Glebe are both pretty close to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) near where Mavericks and The Beer Store are locatedYou understand my concept of geography very well.Also, anywhere to get my turntable worked on? It has a minor mechanical flaw (the barbs on the centre post don't automatically retract when they should) which I would like to get taken care of so long as it won't be stupid expensive.

His rare vinyl is out of this world. I personally went to his shop this past summer and spent a grand in about a half an hour. Great Great stuff!!!
