| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @pbnaudio yes, but still need to figure out where do you buy them and which brands? | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @ateal great, if you like the ANT150ML stylus on lower inductance AT-ML180 body then you will be blown away buy the quality of the original ATN180ML stylus if you will ever find it, the difference between 150 and 180 is huge (owned both). ATN170ML... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hey, Anyone can post a list a capacitors for TT-101 ? Someone who replaced the original oldies may still have a list of a new nice caps (full set, it would be easier to find them for newbies like myself :) @halcro @lewm ? | |
| Turntable getting back to vinyl @paladin This should fit very nice for around $300 + cart. But it's $2750 (not $275) | |
| Turntable getting back to vinyl @brianwillson This is all you need (all in one), for your budget you can have this turntable for $400-500 if you’re lucky along with p-mount Technics 205c mk4 cartridge or with Technics 310MC cartridge, there is a build-in MC/MM phono stage and LI... | |

| 3 Cartridges Reviewed @dodgealum ART 9 ($1000/18CU) would perform against two lower compliance contenders that might represent a better match to my new tonearm--the Ortofon Quintet Black ($800/15CU) and the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC STAR ($2000/10CU). Let me correct you... | |

| MC phono preamp JJ tubes are horrible compared to vintage Telefunken, Sylvania Gold Brand, RCA, Japanese Matsushita pinched tails. The best place for JJ tube is garbage. | |
| Cartridge Advice Please At the same time SoundSmith aka Peter Ledermann, who serviced many thousands of cartridges, hates conical tips and explains why MI are superiour to the MC in his lecture, just watch it: https://youtu.be/F65mODzn4Gk | |
| review iPhono 2 @audiofun You come on this thread to talk about alleged issues others mention on a different site while trying to push 3 other phono stages and claiming that AMR/iFi misrepresented something concerning EQ. What’s your game? One of that stages i... |
