| Which Cartridge/TT to buy - Ortofon MM Black, Rega Exact, Rega Ania? I agree with @deadhead1000My suggestion is you go to a local dealer and get their advice as well as have them set up your turntable if it is your first turntable. If possible watch the setup so you can rebalance the tonearm, etc yourself if you ne... | |
| Spendor SP2/3e Opinions? If you found them at a great price you should buy them.The amp you have will be fine, and if you determine you really need more power you can change it later. | |
| “Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon? +1 "ebmEverything helps."It is the result of a low noise floor. Everything matters, from low noise power supplied to your system, to draining internal noise from components, to how components work with the rack where they are placed, and isolatin... | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... I have not found the cables I use to be tone controls. As I have moved higher up the line I find they reduce provide a more quiet blacker background, reduce noise, and what I would call glaze (minor distortion) that you did not realize was there u... | |

| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm I will checkout the Graham arms. Thanks | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @pops + 1 on the Basis TT and Super Arm. I have not heard the Super Arm, but the Basis Vector is an outstanding tonearm, so presumably the Super Arm is even better | |
| The best TT system for under 30K If you are spending that much I would audition some more turntables. Here are a couple I have heard in your budget range. I have not heard the Kuzma, so my suggestions should be considered with that in mind.At the edge of your budget. An impressiv... | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm @lalitk Thanks for the note. I tried that before and set up a Sonus system at his house. I also had a Sonus digital system. The Sonus was a pain, and didn’t sound good enough. I now have a Innous Zen III with a Line Magnetic DAC. It sounds good, b... | |
| MOFI not shipping LPs according to purchase number. If you ordered as soon as you saw the announcement you may still be behind some other preorders.If you order 2 copies you may or may not get consecutive serial numbers.Just my experience and I have all of the one step releases | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm @mijostynThanks for the suggestion and that may work. The SME 10 has a “simplified” mount. So I have to figure out whether it is that easy.Also, I neglected to mention that if I replace it I was hoping to do so with a higher mass tonearm | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm @lewm Thanks for the suggestions. I have googled it, but no luck with an on point link. Thanks for the suggestions. I will contact SME and post on Vinyl Asylum.I looked on e-bay and saw they make some adaptors for different size mounting holes tha... | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm @stereo5 Thanks for the comment. I agree. My friend is someone who introduced me to high end sound, so just trying to payback a little. | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. I have the EMT JSD s 75. I have compared it to the EMT XSD 15 SFL and EMT TSD SPH in the same system and it is superior to both. I have not heard the TSD 75th Anniversary models, so I can't comment |
