No prob! Your records and your ears will thank you, and you will be much happier with a better setup.
BTW, that protractor link may be a little bit overwhelming, I only use the "Stupid Protractors" when I do a set up. Be careful printing them out, you have to print them with no borders and make sure the lengths are correct.
count me in !
I listen to vinyls almost every day. Just bought a new pro-ject rpm turntable and it sounds awesome on my denon amp

I will admit that the term "vinyls" is a pet peeve of mine as well, it's like saying "deers", oh well, not a big issue.
hmm. I didn't know vinylS wasn't a word in English. Sorry, not my mother tongue. So, "vinyl" is right but not "vinyls" ?
I'll have learnt something
I've wanted to purchase a record table for awhile, I've just gotten into vinyl, so I only have 16 albums, but I want to get a decent turntable that will last me awhile.
(I had a very bad one (it was a picturephone...) that I got at a flea market, but the motor has died out now anyway)
I've done some research, and these are the ones I've narrowed it down to in order of current preference
1. Rega p1 http://www.amazon.com/Rega-Turntable-Ortofon-OM5e-Cartridge/dp/B003BK4JCG
2. Pro-Ject Debut III http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.co...807600&src=3WFRWXX&ZYXSEM=0&CAWELAID=26050355
3. Sony PS-LX350H Link Removed
4. Pioneer PL-990 http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-PL-990-2-Speed-Automatic-Turntable/dp/B00009QORL
Which would you recommend of these, or do you have a similarly priced suggestion?
I don't want it for dj-ing, just listening purposes.

The Rega is the best of those. You should see if you can find a local hifi shop that sells them. You'll probably have to get the yellow pages out; the price may be about the same as Amazon, but the shop will make sure the setup is perfect for you.
Forget the Pioneer it will destroy your records.
Another table to consider is the Audio Technical PL120USB
Invalid Link Removed
It's a Technics 1200 clone with USB output and on-board phono preamp.

I was pretty disappointed when I realized the rega p1 doesn't play 45's, but I might get it anyway.
I don't know what I think about the Audio Technical LP120USB, because I thought I would be better off with a belt-driven table.

What does everyone think of the Denon DP300F over the Rega p1?

I personally love that Denon model, but I like [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] better than the standard base model. I have no afiliation with LP Gear other than being a satisfied customer.
The Rega P1 plays 45s. Invalid Link Removed You just have to change the belt to another setting manually. I personally prefer direct drive to belt drive but it's six of one half dozen of another.

Here is a sound clip of me practicing:

I've been working at it for about 3 months.

DP29F?
I would not dare play any of my records on that turntable or any of the many clones of that model sold under many brand names. That turntable is destroying every record you play on it.
A Pro-Ject Debut III would be a quantum leap. A Denon DP-300F would be a huge improvement also. Other gignatic improvements for even less dough rei mi include the Sony PSLX350H (NOT the PSLX250H - that's more or less the same trash you have). Or the Audio Technica PL-120 (they just released a new USB version, don't know the model number).
Love the speakers and receiver though!
how exactly does a turntable destroy records??
