    That's a p mount tt. All you have to do is plug it in.

    See, I told you you could get a simple one to just listen and enjoy. Now you get to worry about the upgrade thing WHILE you have something to play with in the interim. Looks like a basic p-mount cartridge. Not as many options to move up the pecking order too much with those (although there are some good ones out there, Ortofon for instance). Probably don't want to put too much $ into that TT at this point but nothing wrong with it to enjoy the vinyl you have already collected.

    Zerostats are common on the bay, don't need to spend $100 to pick one up and I recommend that you do. My lps frequently get static cling with my felt mat unless i zap the record. You know they are attracting all kinds of airborne particulates as well.

    Yep, definately on my list of things to pick up. As far as putting $ into this table, not a single dollar will be invested in this table. Saving for something bigger and better.

    My POS turntable does not have a ground lead or plug for one. It is very quite. No background noise at all. So I guess it grounds itself through the interconnects.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Meatlof: Bat out of Hell is one of my favorites so far for sure.

    Led Zeppelin: Coda is coming in near the top as well

    Couple others I'm really enjoying from The Police, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, and others.

    Thanks Mr Hardy...

    $100 for an anti-static gun seems a bit on the pricey side. I don't think at this point it is "if" I get serious in vinyl it's a matter of "when" i get serious into vinyl. I have a little notebook here with a list of all the stuff I need including the VPI 16.5 RCM, Brushes, sleeves, solutions, etc. How far I go is entirely dependant on tax returns. :D

    I'm going to try and pick up some anti-static cleaning clothes today.

    Does anyone know if there is an optimum humidity my room should be in when listening/storing vinyl?

    You can find those Zerostat guns for a hell of lot cheaper than $100. They work extremely well.

    Go to TTVJ.com that is Todd The Vinyl Junkie give Todd a call. Tell him you just got into vinyl and need a Zerostat and Hunt EDA Mk VI anti-static brush. Tell him you are new to the vinyl world and he will work with your budget.

    EDIT: if you can wait until after CES, call Steve Monte at Quest for Sound He will give you the best price on the Zerostat & Hunt brush. You should drop my name as well as Phil's.
