I posted a thread titled “eBay score” less than 10 minutes ago. Comically, I ended the post with “I hope the suspension hasn’t hardened!” This is the subject of that now-deleted post: I listened to a few tracks on a favourite LP with my 4772-DHE, and then swapped it for this stylus. Right...

I recently picked up a used Technics SL-Q2 (another one...) for my father-in-law, advertised as coming with "xtra stylus" and the photos showed a Shure M95HE, so I was excited. The turntable did in fact have an M95HE with original stylus, but the "xtra stylus" was actually two NOS Grado MTE+1...

I know all about the controversy and decline in quality since Ed stopped running the business. My question is, prior to that, how good were his styli really? Was there a way to identify these styli vs. other aftermarket versions? Any idea as to the stylus tip profile? There is a V15 V...

In an attempt to consolidate information about the different stylus tip shapes / profiles manufactured by Shure in the late 70s and onwards, I present to you three graphics taken from Shure literature from the era: The 2nd image has been modified slightly by me to include the tip...

Hi everyone, My father-in-law has access to a fancy water jet cutter and has expressed interest in perhaps trying his hand at creating a custom turntable base (or is it plinth? I am not exactly clear) made out of a heavy material. The first idea was marble / granite but I have now read that...
