    Equalizer suggestions? Will an EQ really make a significant audio improvement?

    I am new to this forum and hope all of you can assist me. I have an Onkyo TX SR505 receiver, a Polk sub, and a pair of Bose 401's. After recently digging out my Kenwood MK1600 turntable (also connecting an inexpensive Pyle pre-amp) and adding a new Ortofon 2M Red cartridge to revisit my LPs, I...

    Fluance rt83 with Ortofon 2M red OR rt85 with Ortofon 2M blue?

    I'm considering two "budget" TT options from Fluance - the rt83 with 2M red or the rt85 with 2M blue. Quick recap of my setup: KEF q350s, Polk HTS 12" sub, Yamaha rv479 receiver. Right now Fluance is offering their preamp free with purchase of either of these tables. Even if in the end you...

    Change Cartridge or upgrade.

    Hi! How are you all? I have a Technics SL D2 with a SHURE M70B cartridge. It sounds ok but it has a lot IGD and sometimes I think the voices are too low, like buried in the music. It has happened me before with the same cartridge and a Technics SL 20 I had. I was thinking in buying an Ortofon...

    Rega Turntable Upgrade

    Product upgrade is a completely new topic for me. Mainly to make a correct decision and not overdo it, but at the same time to improve the sound quality of my turntable. I am the owner of the old Rega Planar 2 with R200 tonearm with a new 2m Ortofon Red cartridge. So what can be done here. I...

    Ortofon 2M (Red and 78)
