| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! Real SME is beautifully machined and fit and finish is perfection. Fake SME in the photos is made with every part being rough cast out of something. Fit and finish is garbage, misaligned parts, gaps, etc. Printing is garbage. Leads are wrong.All t... | |
| New or used cartridge And it will unfortunately sound nothing like the original, so what is even the point of that? | |
| New or used cartridge New. Without doubt. | |
| What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why MM is better. MM sounds closer to master tape. MM is preferred by most mastering engineers from the golden era. MM has more drive and bass. MM has more prominent and magical presence region.MC sounds fake. MC has false over exaggerated detail. MC ... | |
| Good Direct Drives @alexberger SME Model 20 and 30 have the best wow, flutter, and rumble tested performance out of any turntable ever made at any price. And both are belt driven.Some direct drive tables are great, but the very best have been belt driven historicall... | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable @tzh21y Everything makes a difference. But I think you're obsessing over minor stuff. Which means eventually you'll end up with an SME. And that will make a fundamental difference. Mine should be here in a couple of weeks hopefully :) | |
| Need help picking a cart for VPI Prime If you want to stay with current production, get the 2M Black stylus and use it on the Bronze's body, which should be the same. 2M Black is a spectacular cartridge. Chakster and Raul have all of the vintage recommendations covered. | |

| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 0.25mV cartridge at 57dB gain will sound terrible, even if the volume can be turned up far enough to make it loud. It will sound anemic without drive and solid bass. Why would one want to do this? | |
| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! Illegal in U.S. as well. | |
| Good Direct Drives @andysf You can find the motor for $1200. You’ll have to make your own plinth. And fit a suitable tonearm. It’s a tremendous waste of time. When all is said and done, better turntables can be had for an overall similar price. I would take the read... | |
| Good Direct Drives @lewm Fremer does his testing with an iPhone. It's for entertainment purposes. | |
| Good Direct Drives Obviously everyone likes what they like. But preferring the sound of SP-10MKII over SME Model 30... I just can't relate to that. | |
| Good Direct Drives @lewm SP10R may have the best speed stability of any modern turntable, but it doesn't mean that it sounds the best. SP10R is just the drive, in my opinion the only way to go is to get the solid high mass metal plinth full blown SL-1000R. But it wi... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 You guys are so blowing this out of proportion. 103.3 is an entry level low fi MC cartridge. It's not even a good option in the $400 range, yet alone $2000.For one, OC9/II is in another Universe better for a cheaper end MC.But as been mentioned be... |
