Yesterday we set up the new TV cabinet ordered from <a href="http://www.sears.ca">Sears.ca</a>; for the first time in years there's a safe and stable place to set up the old JVC turntable <img alt="N97HE" align="RIGHT" src="/mt/archives/N97HE.jpg" width="233" height="186" border="0" /> and I can finally get cracking transcribing all that vinyl to <a href="http://www.vorbis.com">Ogg</a>. A first test of a disk showed the kids did more damage running the old needle over the rubber mat than I'd though; our new missing piece quest is for the near-microscopic diamond tip of a <a href="http://www.shure.com/m97xe.html ">Shure N97HE stylus</a>, all that stands between us and some 2000 old recordings.</p><p>By an amazing co-incidence, there's a <a href="http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1371904828">post on eBay</a> for a <em>tantalizingly</em> close match N97GD that's started a secondary quest to find out if it's at all compatible with the original M97 cartridge. I hope Shure's tech support are friendly!</p> http://blog.teledyn.com/node/50#comments Mon, 12 Aug 2002 08:18:18 -0400 mrG 50 at http://blog.teledyn.com
