I just purchased a HK t65c turntable at an estate sale. It will be a
few days before I can set it up and I have a few questions about this
turntable that I hope can be answered by this newsgroup. Yes, I know
this TT is midfi to you, but it will be the best turntable that I've
ever owned ;-) 1)This TT wasn't powered up when I bought it, but it and
acillary equipment was in a cabinet set up of the PO so I presume there
is nothing gross wrong with it; it looks clean and cared for. 2)Is
there anything troublesome about this TT I should know about? I do have
the original owners manual 3) It has a Grado Black cart mounted. Any
suggestions about a <$150 replacement (midfi again!) that will be
compatible with the TT? 4) It came the original HK interconnects. No
model number and no direction arrows. Are these cables directional?
Will these cables even be worth fooling with?

Hello labornot, I just came upon your question about your Harman Kardon T65C. I have been using mine for some 5 years now. If some consider it mid-fi, I would definitely consider it high-end mid-fi. I enjoy it’s obvious attractive features like it’s 3-point sub-platform suspension, heavy, belt driven platter, low-mass, sensitive ITO tone-arm, matching record center weight, etc… I have been using the Moving Magnet Ortofon OM 40 with mine. It’s Ortofon’s top of the line MM cartridge priced at approx $200-$250 and I’m very pleased with it’s performance. Seems to match well with the T65C. If you have the same cables mine came with then they are very nice heavy-gauge gold and are not directional, most cables aren‘t. All the best, HK-fan :D

I have a Harmon Kardon T55C in need of a new belt. Is this a fairly easy project? The old belt was in one piece when I removed the platter, so I can only guess that it would span the distance from the spindle to what I'm guessing is the motor shaft. There are several other discs but they're enclosed with guards, so I don't see how the belt could get through them without breaking. BTW, the old belt was much longer than the approx. 5-6" from motor to spindle.

Can anyone provide a diagram or somethiong? Thanks

Bob
