| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR @sdrsdrsdr LOL, I expected this is the reason you asked for such a rare cartridge :)) It’s nice to have a NOS Glanz 61, lucky you. On my Reed 3p "12 it was great, this is it. An old US importer of Reed tonearms (Steve Dobbins) also ranked Glanz 61... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? I’m retired, I have CDs. Are you talking about me? @tooblue there is a difference between younger and older generation of people, strangely but VINYL format is widely popular between young people while CD (and CD players) are not at all (replaced ... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? CD format is dead horse.no future for this media.I think it’s for retired people only, I have no idea who else might be interested in CDs since digital is all about higher resolution files on hard drive (not on CD) so far. Even cassettes is more fun | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? I used to dj and always used technics Sl1200’s and really liked them. I can pick up a nice SL1200 mk3 used for $600...I think you can find SL1200mk2 for $350 instead of mk3 for $600. No audible difference between those two. You can upgrade mk2 sl... | |
| Cartridge for vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm If you're looking for Grado try to find Joseph Grado Signature XTZ or another similar grado cartridge body and XTZ stylus (available separately). This is the best stylus for Grado. However, i must say there are better MM cartridges than Grado for ... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR @sdrsdrsdr Basically the Stanton 881s is Pickering XSV/3000. These models surpassed by Pickering XSV/4000 which i discovered last year. The XSV/5000 is even better and equal to Stanton 980/981. The best of them all in my opinion is Stanton SC-100... | |

| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? Everyone says that you’ll need to adjust the arm bearings right out of the box. What ?"Turntable is good, just adjust tonearm bearing" - it sounds like a nightmare, how an amateur can adjust tonearm bearings? | |

| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? @dancole I’ve got a Pioneer PLX-1000 on my #2 system...... I bought that turntable because I always wanted to try a direct drive.... Of course, the word "nearly" can hide a lot of significant differences, and there are some between the Pioneer PL... | |

| Rega planar 3 or Project X2? Which is the better turntable? here we go again Too bad the Technics looks like Sh!@. And the rumble and vibrstion from that direct drive mechanism on the platter must sound wonderful. Lol @jeffvegas Each Technics is different and if someone prefer wooden plinth then SP20 or ... | |
| Buying a new TT today When someone must change almost everything on a turntable that came as "the end of research" it is pretty funny. 99% of the turntable threads on audiogon are about those rega and pro-ject and almost always there is a problem with something or user... | |
