| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? One that shocked me was the opener for The Faces on their final tour in 1975. We learned on the way in that the opener was someone called Peter Frampton. Sounded funny to us in our stoned brains, and walking up the ramps of Pittsburgh’s Civic Are... | |

| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @msale - I want to thank you, again for writing out those directions for cleaning the turntable. I finally got to it last night. OMGosh, I went through 10 or so Q-Tips in cleaning it out. But it's good now, and after I put the fresh lubricant on... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @mswale thank you! Great, easy, simple directions. Fantastic. You've helped me to up my game, and I appreciate it. I will do all of this as soon as the lube I ordered arrives. Will be here in a day or two. You rock! | |

I've been searching online and on YouTube for good tutorials on how to care for a TT, but not coming up w/ anything too good. It's all about how to set up a TT. For example, I don't know to properly clean th... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @noromance Excellent! I just ordered the Pro-Ject: Lube It Silent Groove Lubricant Oil. This is the issue, I believe. And hopefully, the solution. Thank you. | |

| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @jeffreylee thank you. a quick google does indeed reveal a ton of complaints.

So - will lift it out and lubricate it - I think? lewm you say "Take the whole thing apart. Clean and relubricate the bearing. Check that platter spins freely. Make sure belt fits snugl... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @jeffreylee Why is having a Pro-Ject TT a primary issue? Are they known for not lasting long? They have universally excellent reviews, so not sure why you’re making that statement. | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @yogiboy - interesting piece of gear there! thank you. Not sure how long I'll stick w/ this current turntable and what I may replace it with, but good to know that there's a solution for fully manual ones. | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off Yes, once I removed the belt, I could see the spindle that the belt sits on moving. So - lift the platter, nothing's moving. Remove the belt, see the spindle moving. Put the belt back on, spindle, belt, and inner platter are all moving. Put the o... |
