Technics 1200 w/ AT440ML/OCC ... BENT! +2 for VM750SH. Excellent cart. | |
Have you heard a VAS cartridge? I've been running the VAS Ebony 103 for quite some time. Never gets old, absolutely love the detail and warmth. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone. Paid $510. Steve is very responsive to questions. | |
what cart for my Lenco L70? I've been loving the VAS Ebony 103...essentially a suped-up Denon DL-103 with a nude hyper elliptical stylus and heavier mass with wood body. I'd imagine it would be great fit for that tonearm. | |
Phono preamp with best mid bass I've been loving the Softone Model4. Tube stage but still very articulate with beauty mid/highs. I also have the Vincent PHO-701. Keep in mind that's a tube buffer on the output, not true tube stage. I still really enjoy that as well, especially t... | |
Rock performers that play/record a different genre I've always liked Neil Young with the Shocking Pinks doing rockabilly. I also think Maynard James Keenan's work as Puscifer is more interesting than Tool. | |
First table, second cartridge, ... Many folks prefer the SUT option. Personally, I've been really happy with well-built phono stages. You could go up the Vincent chain and check out the PHO-701. I've used that one and love it. Lehmann is another brand I really enjoy. Anyway, in my ... | |
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? John Coltrane "My Favorite Things" Nirvana "The Man Who Sold The World" Talking Heads "Take Me To The River" | |
Best integrated amps No. Not worth the change. Listen to ghdprentice. You're not going to find anything better for $300. NAD 3020 is a classic. You'd have to spend a lot more to out perform it. What are your sources and speakers? Keep the 3020 and focus on those if y... | |
Tracking force If this is it then should be .75-1.5g. I generally keep the anti-skate on my SL-1200 the same as the VTF. | |
Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. @jb505 I think you'll be surprised by the Sprout. Congrats! | |
Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. robelvick I can’t believe we just posted this at the exact same time 😂 | |
Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. PS Audio Sprout100. | |
Low Output MC recommendations? Love both my AT33Sa and VAS Ebony 103 (essentially a custom DL103). But no idea what your budget is or the effective mass of your tonearm. | |
Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. I would definitely consider an AT33Sa (MC, Shibata, .4mv) . I run it through a passive pre and st-70 tube amp...glorious detail with all the warmth. | |
Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Music Millennium? You must be in Portland - like me! Great place. Definitely check out Mississippi Records, Tomorrow Records (lower Hawthorne), Exiled Records (upper Hawthorne), and Dig Vinyl in Sellwood. Discogs online is fun - once you find trus... |
