| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks David, mine should be here later next week. | |
| Best used TT for under $1k? If you can find a used Technics SL 1200 MK2 in decent shape, they typically go for around $500 and are an excellent table. Search for things to look out for when buying and don't buy a pair of them. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @david3838 What's your opinion on the 45 RPM Yes Album? I have one on the way, just curious. | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Spencer, from what I understood his supply of parts is running low. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Rhiannon Giddens - They're Calling Me Home, Qobuz hi-res. Holy smokes! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? McCoy Tyner - Expansions | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Alice in Chains - Facelift. One of my favorite records from the Seattle 90s scene. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve I'm glad you're enjoying PJ! I love that record. | |
| What phono preamp are you using? If you want to get a Herron, you better act fast. Keith said he's only going to make a couple more and I just ordered one of them. It'll be a couple of weeks before I get it, so I can't comment yet on quality, but I have his monoblock amps which... | |

| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic I was only pointing out the total cost to someone starting out from scratch. I was commenting on the quality, timeliness, and affordability of Andy's service, not recommending that someone send a new perfectly good cartridge to have it re-tipped. ... | |
| Ayre K-5xeMP vs. Electrocompaniet - EC 4.8 MK II, or others? I own the Modwright LS 100. It's one of the few things in my system that l never think about upgrading (though I'm sure there is better, maybe someday). My Ref 1s sound amazing and holographic, with great imaging. The LS 100 is very neutral to my ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Fleetwood Mac - Live (Deluxe Edition) Qobuz Hi-Res. This sounds wonderful so far! | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic @lewm I'm not sure I understand your question or the logic behind it. Any re-tip is the cost of the cartridge plus the re-tip. The cost of the re-tip however is a fraction of the cost of a new cartridge of similar quality. In this case, the car... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic I know this thread is a little old, but wanted to share a recent experience with Andy Kim. Some time back I bought a Technics SL 1200 MK2 that came with a Zu Denon DL-103. To put it bluntly, it sounded like crap, lots of distortion in the left c... |
