| Looking for not too expensive Turntable @lewm Denon DP80 can "beat" SP10 Mk2 by a small margin. Can be found for $600 to $900. (I owned them both, both in custom slate plinths, ran them side by side in my system. End of editorial.) The OP said the budget is $250 for the whole sys... | |

| Cartridge for a Pioneer PL 630? @noromance ebay is not the best price guide, fellow audiogonners are better, sold a few fr-5e for $150 and fr-6se for under $200 | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable @fisher_400 Budget is $250 With this budget you can buy something like this for a bedroom (LOL) https://i.pinimg.com/564x/15/65/7d/15657d3eb7e34e8576a3f78afbf25787--turntable-high-tech.jpg | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable SP10 is not inexpensive. Just ot make it clear: the first SP10 does not have Quartz-locked speed control like all the later made and improved models, such as SP10mkII and SP20 | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable When it comes to vintage turntables, nothing can beat the price/quality of Technics SP-10MKII (i use teak wood custom plinth), a little bit cheaper and quite rare is Technics SP-20 (i have a spare one). Adding tonearm like Victor UA-7045 will not ... | |
| I keed your help??, re my whole system @daveyonthecoast hey, the JLTi is an excellent phono stage, it can be upgraded by the nanufacturer now to mk5. I use my JLTi with Zu Audio Druid MK5 (actually upgraded mkIV) speakers. Zu speakers are amazing (imo). The Denon 103 and SPU both share... | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? @mattmiller Stanton 881s MKII was a choice of Doug Sax (RIP) if you know who it is and if you don’t know look at Sheffield Lab studio gear. This is his master disc monitoring cartridge for years. Doug Sax did the greatest Direct Cut recordings of ... | |

| review iPhono 2 @kalali I can assure you I would not remember how something sounded a year or so ago unless I put it away and pick it up a year later and the change is very dramatic and in my face. Not if I use it along the way.Just as an aside, I do agree some ... | |
| review iPhono 2 @clearthink It sounds like you believe in miracles and faith-based phony "science" how could you not have read the very many thoughtful posts submitted here by those who have indeed firsthand observed such differences in the Music Reproduction Sy... | |
| review iPhono 2 @audiofun just a common sense my friend, i'm not a seller or manufacturer of the phono stages and i already stated that i did tried the iPhono2. You may pray for every device you are buying, and you're on another expensive phono stage right now as... | |
| Needle gets stuck on the brand new 7" When you said "Somehow needle gets stuck" do you mean needle skip or what? I have thousands of 7'inch records (45rpm), when the needle skips the reduced tracking force will help your cartridge to go through the defective part of the groove (bump, ... | |
| review iPhono 2 @kalali Never heard any gear requiring this much break in time. Is this a common thing for phono preamps in general or unique to this particular item?Do you believe in miracles? It’s a common thing for a believers to burn-in everythings with spec... | |
| review iPhono 2 If you guys are not actually listening to your records on your device before and durign burn-in process then how you can make sure there is an improvement? Would you like to make a recording before and after 700 hrs of burn-in to prove it for your... |
