Speedboost or other lps for Hagerman Trumpet MC
The Trumpet needs 15-16Vdc on the power input with the correct plug configuration. I believe the polarity is indicated on the receptacle. Whether that is from a switching or linear power supply is of no real consequence other than how each sounds.

A bunch of great kids playing jazz at a high school. Then the music teachers played the second half and blew the students away. Great night and awesome acoustics. Haven’t gone to a commercial gig since Nick Cave before corona. Gave up paying ticke... 
Speakers sound too bright.

How long do records last?
@faustuss A decent air cleaning machine is a worthwhile addition to any room. It’s been covered (pun) in other threads and the consensus seems to be that turntables sound better with the lid (if fitted) removed when playing.
