| Upgrade from Technics SP25 There was an SP-20 released in 1976 which is exactly the same size as the SP-10 mkII, but without external power supply. Actually very nice turntable, i have posted about it on audiogon few years ago. I know it's fun to change the turntable, i di... | |
| A Night with three phono stages Allnic 1202, ANK and GoldNote PH10 @lewm well, i still have a hiss when the music is off and tonearm lifted up (all other carts are dead quiet,except for the MC2000). I am enjoying it on low level at night, but on high level i prefer different cartridges. Anyway, i have tryed my NO... | |
| Upgrade from Technics SP25 I am looking for an upgrade that digs a little deeper and extracts more detail. No wonder, your conical DL-103 diamond simply missing the extensions on both ends due to natural limitation of the contact surface associated with any conical/spheric... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart There is one Idler Drive that is so attractive: Restored Hammertone Garrard 301 from Audio Grail, especially in Artisan Fidelity plinth Aesthetically to die for (imo)In my opinion this is a state of the art in terms of design, the only problem is ... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart DJ’s use direct drive tables because they can physically turn the platter backward, which can’t be done successfully with belt drive. None of the DJs turn the platter backwards, they turn the record on the slipmat (felt mat) any directiron if ... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart This is really just about maximizing value of my 2m black that is being shortchanged by the debut carbon I think the question is the tonearm which is a separate unit, not necessary comes with a turntable of any kind. You can also try to load your... | |
| Tracking Force? You have to balance the arm first, then set up ZERO on the tonearm counterweight and only then add the actual weight according to the manual of your cartridge. | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart @bsmg The only advantage of direct drive is high torque and more stable speed. The extra vibration and noise from a direct drive turntable is why I would not have one.I have 6 direct drive turntables and can't detect any noise from any of them, ... | |

| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart @bsmgI would never buy a direct drive turntableThen you will never get a stable rotation with all those belts etc. Cheap belt drive turntables are awful. Coreless Direct Drive is the most stable motor in this world. This motor ain’t cheap and not ... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? @roberjerman The fact that you have one does not make it good, even old SL1210 mkII is much better built (in japan) than plastic Pioneer PLX-1000 (made in china), i’ve tried both, the fairy tales that Pioneer made this turntable for audiophiles ha... | |

| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? Panasonic didn’t want to be bothered retooling the assembly line. In doing so, they created a gaping hole in their direct drive TT product line, a hole that Pioneer was all too happy to fill, with no complaints from Panasonic. There was no gap ... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart I think you should match it with a tonearm, not a turntable. Effectime mass of the arm + cartridge compliance is the key.There you go But the best you can buy is new Technics DD with the arm that just fine for your Ortofon | |
