| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? @morbius2130aol My next step is to swap out the cartridge with a conservatively priced (less than $350) unit, based on what I hear (and don’t hear) then fine tune the system with a complimentary cable upgrade and probably an outboard phono preamp... | |

| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? It's funny how many useless things people are ready to do, before they are realizing the weak point is the cartridge.

One of my friend has replaced his 2M (on the same turntable) with Stanton 881 MKIIs and he never looked back since that day. Find yoursel... | |
| review iPhono 2 @pryso chakster, does your JLTi include the optional outboard power supply?I bought an early one (black box) from Oz. At that time they were matched with a wall wart, which they said was all that was needed. A local friend built a fully regulate... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! Have you heard about acetate (lacquer disc) ? There is a metal covered by lacquer, can be 7 inch, 10 inch or even 12 inch. Master disc is the almost the same. But everyone can order an acetate for personal use, just one-off. Good for producers to ... | |
