You want the opposite of subtly or delicacy. Original Technics 1200 MKIII, Shure V15 Vmr cartridge- Jico Replacment Stylus. You will hear every last drum roll, cymbal crash, screaming vocal and chainsaw guitar solo. The cartridge will track anything you can throw at it. The table will work during a nuclear blast. Table about $500-700 in good shape. Cartridge body around $200. Jico Stylus about $200 // $900-$1100 total. Spend the remaining $400-$600 on head banger LPs ! Rock On Dude ! _ !
Best used turntable(s) around $1500.00 for playing metal and rock
I am looking for opinions and advice. I Have a Carver CT-17 pre-amplifier, and (2) Carver PM 600 main amplifiers wired in mono off each channel (left and right) to capture the full 600 amps from each. I am driving (2) Klipsch chorus speakers and (1) Sunfire True architectural 8" (claimed 1800 watt) self powered subwoofer. I am always looking to increase the headroom that accentuates "metal", as well as get the best sound. (departing from the title of this turntable discussion I will add), ... I am planning to add (2) more speakers and another powered sub. I figured sticking to Klipche and getting a larger sunfire was the direction, but always look for input and educational information.
I presently have a Onkyo CP-1150F, and for a low end turntable, it's spec's, performance and sound are decent, but I really want to upgrade using good information to guide me, and haven't found many metal guys who are on these high-end audio conversations that are helping. I get all my metal information about audio for my home from metalheads in bands that love the headroom great equipment provides at home. Unfortunately, most of the guys I know aren't Vinyl fans, .... but I am. Any suggestions welcomed.
