    Low-budget stereo system

    I'm using 2 JBL LSR305 self powered speakers, Schiit pre-amp and phono pre with a Technics 1200 with a Stanton 681eee-s and my MacBook Pro with Dragon Fly. Works wonderful for a small listening space.

    Do tube preamps put out noise?

    Hi, did you ever figure out the issue with the hiss and hummm in tube mode? I'm considering the Schiit Saga or Freya preamp for my small office system. I don't want issues just want,to,plug up and it work. Thanks!

    Chinese choices. So many choices...

    I'm really considering the Saga pre to run with my JBL powered studio monitors. I'd also be getting the Schiit Mani phono stage too so I can plug up my turntable.

    Hey from Tampa

    Hi Harryconover....what you're saying about the Stanton 681eee-S is totally different from what the guys on the turntable section are saying. The 681 series was more of the audiophile type,of cartridge than the DJ carts that Stanton made or still makes today. I was going to replace or add a...

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    Baffeling me on "compliance dynamic lateral" and what it has to do with tone arms. I just have a Technics sl1200mkii which I've learned that people either love it or hate it. I bought it because I'm in the music industry in sales and had access to this turntable back in the late 80's at dealer...

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    I was looking at this exact stylus....so thanks for the vote of confidence...I just ordered it. I'll look into the Audio Technics cartridge too. I had just read so many good reviews of those Ortofon Red and Blue carts...but they don't seem to be well liked here.

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    Not using the Stanton cart with the brush. Without the brush it's set at 1.5 grams. The spec paper I have with it says 1.75 is max to 1 gram at min. I tried all those weights and no change in sound

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    Read in Absolute Sound it is a good cartridge for the price. I figured $100 isn't much to spend to get a positive reviewed cartridge for a Technics SL1200 MKII turntable.

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    Hard to know if it's worn out, aged out or what. I'm thinking instead of spending $160 on the best aftermarket stylus replacement...I might buy another head shell and a $100 Ortofon 2m Red and check that out. Thoughts ?

    Anyone in Tampa? Any suggestions on good shops around for gear? I have been into the home theater hobby for a long time...decided the other day to get out my Technics SL1200 MKII with a Stanton 681eee-s cartridge. I bought this cartridge new at 17 years of age back in 1982. I have replaced the...

    Stanton 681eee stylus replacement

    New here....I decided to bring out my Technics SL1200 mkii that has a Stanton 681eee-S on it. I bought the 681eee-S brand new at 17 years of age back in 1982. I replaced the stylus I believe back in 2000 or so with an original stylus. I haven't used it much since then and haven't used the...
