| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) @tatyana69 You Bryston has nothing to do with Quadraphonic Descrete-4 records. In fact your Bryston designed for Digital Audio (Dolby Surround) in Home Theater application. To play records you need just normal stereo (Left and Right channel). Quad... | |

| budget tables What is "budget" turntable for you? Japanese direct drive (used) kills them all for reasonable price | |
| Fidelity Research FR5e This cartridge is so cheap so i bought many of them and in my experience the low inductance FR-5E is better than FR-6SE. The versions of the FR-5 are Conical (5), Elliptical (5E) and also 5SE which i have never tried. The weight of the cartridge i... | |
| What makes a good tonearm? Another thread from 2004 is up now. C'mon, the price for Audiomods tonearm is higher than some absolute favorite vintage arms like Technics EPA-100, Victor UA-7045, Lustre GST-801, Sony PUA-7, Luxman TA-1 and many others including the brand new Sc... | |
| Momentus Footers Repair Needed @lewm Raul uses them, or used them, under the naked chassis of his SP10 Mk2 motor unit, which is not very heavy by itself. I agree; they are good feet. Yep, there was another version for lighter units (up to 30kg on 4 feet). This one AT636 went... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? I use Dr. Feickert Analogue Protractor (Next Generation) to choose between Baerwald, Loefgren or Stevenson on different tonearm and this is a great tool compared to others i have used before. Not necessary to buy new to pay full price, they are mu... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice AT’s hollow tapered gold plated boron cantilever is definitely unique, look at this image and tell me if any other company mouting their diamonds like that. Anything before the AT-ML170 looks way different. The AT-ML150 and AT-ML140 are different,... | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearm? @dazzdax i also use "9, "10 and "12 tonearms and all of them are great, but for some turntables like Technics SP-10mk2, SP-20 the "10 and "12 tonearms are much easy to use and to mount. Aesthetically "10 and "12 are better (imo). So you can't be w... | |
| Momentus Footers Repair Needed @wilcan7 if you are looking for the great footers then seach for Audio-Technica AT-616 It’s not only one of the best pneumatic suspension insulators, but you can also level each of them. I think Rauls has been used those footers under heavy difect... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? @harold-not-the-barrel but my post was addressed not to your statement, but to @schubert 's "MM all the way" P.S. I'm still not sure the MFG 610LX is equal to earlier MF61 which i have never seen for sale in many years. | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? Well, i have Joseph Grado Signature XTZ (MI) cartridge, but i can’t say that MM cartridges like the Grace Level II (or F-14 LC-OFC), AT-ML180 OCC, Pioneer PC-1000mk2, Stanton CS100 WOS are on the lower level, they are even better than MI. Life is ... | |
| $700 Used TT Upgrade Advice, Is it Worth It For Me? I would strongly advice to check Technics SP-20 (from 1976) direct drive brother of the SP-10mkII but for lower price. I’ve managed to buy NOS, so my used spare is available. More infor in the description here. The belt drives are too funny, look ... | |
| Dynavector xx2 mk2 loading sugestions For about $750 you can buy amazing JLTi phono stage from Australia with high gain and ability to use different load resistors "on the fly". With this stage you can use whatever load you need for any cartridge (any MC or MM). This is the best way ... |
