    new turntable stylus

    I have been keeping my eye open for a decent turntable for a while and I found a Luxman PX-99 at goodwill for six bucks. It appears that the only issue is the stylus is broken (there could be more issues but I cant play it yet without the stylus). The cartridge is a Grado G1 and after looking...

    A TT with 4 cartridges - which should I use?

    I just picked up a Pioneer PL-540 (my first Pioneer - man, I am liking it!) and the owner was nice enough to toss in 3 extra cartridges in the deal, none of which I have any experience with: a Grado MC+ (installed), a Grado MOD.FC, a Pickering U38/AT, and an AT125LC. I am leaning towards the...

    Grado Green T4P compatibility

    Hi guys, I might be able to buy a Grado Green cartridge (seems to be a nice one right? I'm tempted to try the brand, does not have the stylus but I bet I can get one), and the seller indicated it's a T4P cartridge; I honestly can't tell the difference with other types? I'm using now for example...

    Denon DP-47F with Nagaoka MP110

    Hi, Do any of you have any experience with the Nagaoka MP110 on the Denon DP-47F? I had my mind set on this cartridge until I learned (a bit) about tonearm mass and compliance. The Denon DP-47F has a low mass tonearm with Q-damping. As I understand it, you have to use a high compliance...

    GRADO Vs Audio Technica

    I bought a technics belt drive turntable a while back (don't judge) and it came with an old grado p mount cartridge and the stylus wasn't in very bad shape so I've been using it and it has sounded great, but I'm thinking it's probably time to replace the stylus. Would it be a better idea to buy...
