| The best TT system for under 30K @uwiikz, looks like you did it all yourself. You found the dealer, you found the bargain, you identified the cartridges. And made good decisions.All you needed to know was, "In the light of experience, does this make sense?" The answer was overwhe... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Raul, I do not think that a newcomer to the hobby should have to worry about whether or not the cartridge he received is ’as advertised’. The OP is obviously not short of a few dollars, and he can afford to let others worry about that. It’s a cost... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Cartridge: You might also consider Soundsmith. The owner gives talks and makes a lot of sense (Peter Ledermann). Some knowledgeable people speak very highly of his products. | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Cartridge: Disclaimer - I have no recent experience with inexpensive cartridges. But, you fell in love with Miyajima - do they sell an inexpensive one? I have heard and read good things about the Nagaoka line, it is or was the factory recommendati... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @best-groove, I absolutely do not agree. Further, I think that what you wrote is mean-spirited. When you audition and audition and fall in love with something, that's probably real. And now the OP has said that he's going to practice on an inexpen... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @chakster , you really need to lighten up. And that paragraph about a $3K used machine outperforming the big Kuzma is a matter for medication. | |
| The best TT system for under 30K I agree, a good decision. Good luck! | |
| The best TT system for under 30K I think I see what's going on.Midway down the first page, the OP reports that the exact analogue front end that he fell in love with, the exact same demo unit, was suddenly offered at a price he could afford. He accepted.Perhaps we came to differe... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @rauliruegas Well, I think it's likely that the OP will continue to enjoy his exceptional cartridge long into the future. Why? Because I fell in love with the planar sound as soon as I heard it fifty years ago, and that hasn't changed. I wanted a ... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Agreed Whart. This sniping is in bad taste. | |
| The best TT system for under 30K uwiiks, you have some fabulous equipment there, so just a word of caution. The magnets in your cartridge are very powerful. Do not let anything which is magnetic get anywhere near them. No watch straps, no coins, only tools - and even then, not to... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Raul, you say the the OP will tire of his cartridge long before it wears out. I'm not so sure.He is using a Miyajima cartridge, probably better than the one which I own, which is the Zero (a mono offering). I can say unequivocally that the Zero is... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Grunge is mainly on old records - the diamond dust comes from styli now dead.But I clean NEW records as well. Opinion is divided on whether or not new records can be contaminated with mold-release compound or some other liquid residue, but with a ... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K Recommended equipment. I use an Elmasonic P60H, sold by Fisher, a prominent laboratory equipment supplier. This endorsement is important, because if lab equipment doesn't meet spec (specification), there is hell to pay, exacted by the biggest heav... | |
