| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations I believe an upgrade to the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze would satisfy all the needs you mentioned in your post. You'd get a bit more detail and clarity with the Ortofon Windfeld Ti, but I don't think it's worth the substantial price jump. I also secon... | |
| Fluance RT85N Reference Turntable - budget, or not ? Would also recommend Fluance for a budget/entry level turntable over any other brand. | |
| Looking for SPU tonearm I'm currently using an Ortofon SPU Wood A in a Sorane SA-1.2 tonearm. They get along tremendously. | |
| Anyone have experience to share regarding the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze MC cartridge? I own the Cadenza Bronze and the MM Blue. I think you'll find greater detail, silkiness and warmth with the Bronze, but definitely in a GOOD way. I like the Blue, but it can be a little bold and aggressive. I've noticed this difference between Blu... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital?

| What artists can you not get enough of? Could name hundreds, but I'll just go with what came to mind in the few seconds I initially thought about it (so mostly obvious): The Beatles J.S. Bach Miles Davis Cocteau Twins | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? The Moldy Peaches. Saw them open for The Strokes. I was truly amazed. It was the first time I heard an artist that had absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. They were so completely awful I bought one of their albums out of sheer curiosity.... | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? I own several different cartridges from different brands, and here's my opinion (emphasis on opinion). Didn't care for ANY of the Nagaoka line (had the opportunity to get them at cost, so I bought several in the line). I love detail and clarity,... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I got the Sorane SA-1.2 for my Denon DP-80 turntable. Match made in heaven! |
