Stanton sold the company in the late 90s. However, best cartridges from the 80’s - early 90s still can be found NOS (I bought many an... | |
| Grado Statement 3--any experience? You’re right, I just checked online and here is a picture from another member on vinyl engine. I’m surprised about Boron cantilever. I was a bit confused about it because of the LP Gear, on their picture it’s definitely not Boron and definitely a ... | |
| Anyone here have experience with the Denon DP-35F? I like Denon DP-80 turntable and Denon DA-401 tonearm. I also have Denon original plinth for my DP-80.

| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming The OP’s argument against Direct Drive based on his “crappy Audio-Technica” - this is exactly what he said about his AT.
