Hi guys, I need a bit of help.
Basically, I good friend of mine, will lend me his Project TT for few weeks, to try, before I get into the long road of TT and vinyls.
My problem is, that his taste of music is too far away from me, so none of his LPs will do anything for me.
I would like to ask, if any of you is willing to lend me some Jazz LPs /smooth and modern/, for few days or week?
I know is a bit odd question and most of you take very seriously that kind of gear, but I can assure you that, I will take great care.
Thanks.

Hi georgi
Did you manage to borrow some disks. If not I’m sure I would have something for you.
Regards
John

Yep, got down to Golden Discs and bought few LPs. Don't know much about what to look for, when you buying stuff like that, so the first artists I sow and I know, ended up in my hand.
So far, so good.
At the moment I'm with mix filings about TT and LPs approach.

Hi, if I can ask another stupid question.
Don't know much about TT, I look at some videos, some suggest Pro-ject TT , some Rega P1. As more I read and look on videos, I get more confused.
So, any advices and suggestions are very much appreciate.
Thanks.

There is a simple answer Georgi - don't go there!! The price of new vinyl is ridiculous..... and the sonic return doesn't come in until you've spent a significant amount of money......

Thanks Fran, I understand what you're saying, yes I do. :)
What is significant amount of money? I guess for everyone is different, for some €3-500, for others €3-5000, and so on.
I do enjoy the TT way, I think I do want to have one in my system, just to have it, won't be my main source of signal, but want little bit more from the entry-level TT.
Something like Rega Planar 2 or 3 or along that quality.

I can't remember if I mension it here, but for the last few monts I enjoy my Rega P2.
As a standard piece of equipment and set up is ok, much cleaner and mature souding than the Pro-Ject Carbon.
Anyway, after few good and long hours, I decided to try to make it better, as much as I could, becouce it has its limits, arm, cartrige ect.
So, I change the tone arm with RB-300, completly rewired with high quality silver cables, P3 thicker glass platter, Iceni Audio Sub-platter, Little Belter belt, high quality RCA output connectors installed and for decert I put Dynavector DV-20x2L cartrige.
Waiting on a Iceni Audio's matt and counter weight.
Well, I can only say, it is sounding nothing like before. 🙃
