    B&O MMC 20 CL-B cartridge -- is this new or used?

    My father passed away last year and left me his b&o beogram 4004, as well as this cartridge. I'm not experienced with turntable cartridges -- it seems that this might be used, and he put it away back in the original case, OR it could be unused. Looking at it, i don't know which is which. On...

    Technics 1200 MK2 - AT VM540ML vs AT33PTG/2?

    New to me late 90's Technics 1200 MK2 all stock including headshell. No KAB dampening well (at least yet). Did the research and ordered a VM 540ML but wondering if the AT33PTG/2 is worth the 2X price of the 540 with this table/arm? I have no issues supporting the capacitance on either cart or...

    Does it really matter how much or little you spend on a Turntable?

    My question is does it matter the price of the actual turntable or is it better to spend more on the cartridge?

    Pioneer PL-510A | Suggestions for Cartridge, Stylus, and/or Headshell

    Hi everyone! I recently picked up a Pioneer PL-510A from a pawn shop that came with a Technics headshell, Shure M97 cartridge, and Shure N97EJ stylus. It's running and sounding pretty good so far. I thought a new stylus would be a good next step before investing in records, so I emailed Shure...

    Recommend a cart for Rega P3

    A couple of people mentioned to me that Elys 2/3 may not be the best choice to come with this tt. Among alternatives there were given Ortofon M2 Red, Goldring (say 2100). Pricewise Elys is dearer. What would be your recommendations may be even from your experience? Thanks!
