The JVC l-a31 turntable I bought came installed with an at95e cartridge. I've been having a lot of fun getting it cleaned and fully working, but sometimes I feel like there's something missing in the sound.
From what I've read, the JVC l-a31 has a low-mass tonearm, while the at95e cartridge is...
Hey all,
I just purchased a pair of Snell J2 speakers with audio note tweeters that I'm very pleased with. They sound great for vinyl. Right now I am powering them with my dad's Insignia NSR2000 receiver. I'm looking to upgrade my receiver and eyeing a Luxman L-80v or L-85v integrated...
Felt like I needed a project, something to distract me from daily worries & covid pandemic, so I picked up Sharp RP-30 for what it seemed like a fair price, which needed some TLC ... not to mention repairs & upgrades. Picture below is obviously from the internet, maybe I will take my own...
Here's a totally random thread. TBH, I kinda hesitated to post it in here, mainly due to all the negativity & hate for Hanpin-made turntables out there. I'm already going through a very dark part of my life & don't need any more negative energy my way (in fact, music is one of the few remaining...
Hi,
I have a CA-610 and a CA-1000. I’m using an Audio Technica AT95E cart on my Technics SL-1700.
Records sound great on the 610, but peakier at high frequencies on the 1000.
The AT95E cart is good for a load capacitance of 200pf. So 100pf for the cable, and 100pf for the phono input. By the...
Hello! Just to get this outta the way, this is a first post, apologies if its not in the right place.
I've been using an older friends AR XA for a while now, as an upgrade to a pioneer pl7 I found used at a thrift store. Following the instructions, I got it more or less dialled in..it sounded...
Hi folks!
First post here :)
I need to replace the needle on my Technics SL-Q202. The cartridge I have right now is an AT-10 and it sounds a little thin to my taste, so I want to change the cartridge. The two contenders are the AT95e and the Ortofon M2 Red. My main concerns are:
1-The amp vs...
Hi all,
Having recently (Summer 2018) gotten back into LPs, I lucked out and found a Sony PS-LX22 in great condition, just needed some basic servicing and cleaning. After reading many cartridge reviews I installed a new AT95e, and set up the tracking/anti-skating per the manual and used one of...
Hello!
So I recently peeked my head back into the world of Vinyl (after some clueless experimentation a number of years ago). This is my first time trying to educate myself enough to "do things right," and I could really use some help as the minutia of this stuff can get overwhelming pretty...
It's a Technics SL-D2. I purchased the TT used, and it came with an ADC PSX-A cart. It has a blue stylus, so I am guessing it is a PSX-10. It sounded good (before the stylus broke), so I either want to upgrade to a PSX-40 stylus, or just buy an Audio Technica AT-95e cart. The ADC is a P...
I'm looking for a new stylus for my TT (Pioneer PL-15R). I got a M91ED cartdrige and after Googling a lot people seems to recommend the EVG N91ED stylus on those. However, since I'm in Canada, prices are higher. The cheaper one I've found is on Ebay at 36$ CAD...
As the title states this is my current turntable. I really would like to upgrade but that will have to wait until the finances agree. This table has been OK so far save the usual gripes (anti-skate, preamp etc). I’m using a Cambridge phono stage and all my wax sounds pretty good. The table is...
Hi everyone, i just don't know what's the difference between both... so the price on Ebay it's like the same, but don't know which one i should choose as the best sound quality option.
ATN95EX = RED
AT95E= Tipical GREEN

Hello All,
I have a Sony PS-T22 Turntable that I've been using for about the past year. I seem to be getting a little bit of static noise out of the left channel; it sounds like the ground isn't attached properly, but there is no ground wire to attach! The noise is faint, but annoying. It...
Hey guys, just revamping an old turntable from my parents. It's a JCPenny's MCS 6502 belt drive tt with a AT3600 magnetic cartridge already installed on it. I took a look at the cartridge the other day and it looks like the cantilever is turned to the right slightly (possibly bent?). It still...
Hello,
I read a lot of posts here on AK while looking for a TT. I landed with a Tachnics SL D2 in great shape! I had bought a Garrard Z2000B but there was some issues with it so I'm going to keep it and try and fix it but I wanted a working table in the meantime.
Can anyone identify this...
