I just got a pioneer pl-50 turntable with a Pickering v-15 cartridge with no stylus. What would be a good stylus for everyday listening? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Hey everyone, boy has it been awhile since I've poked my head in here! Feels good to be back...
When we last spoke, I was restoring my vintage Pioneer PL-50. To keep the story short, after oodles of help from all of you guys here, fixing, and improving on a few things on my dinky highschool...
I recently was fortunate enough to acquire an NAD preamp (C162) and amplifier (C272) in excellent condition at "friends and family rate."
I also have, and was previously using, a vintage Pioneer SA-8100 in near mint condition and professionally serviced. I have the 8100 tuner as well - a lovely...
Good Evening All, I apologize for such a short post, as my phone is about to die.
Just got home from the local record shop this afternoon, when I noticed one of my LP's sounded distorted. Noticing this, I checked my alignment. After seeing everything was fine, i decided to adjust the anti-bias...
Marnatz 2230 with wood case only issue is static when adjusting the volume and needs a knob. A Pioneer pl-50 needs belt and a pair of Kenwood kl-333a speakers and the grills have no cracks or rips in fabric. I've talked to a guy who wants to do some trading but I'd like to have an idea about...
I don'thave a lot of experience with vintage equipment. Over the last decade I've picked up a marnatz 2230 with WC-22 wood case, Pioneer PL-50 turntable and a set of Kenwood KL-333A Speakers. My plan was to have a decent system for listening to vinyl. The receiver works the only issue I've had...
Alright all... It's time to figure this out...
I've tried damn near everything to get to the bottom of this, over the passed two years... Although I've never described the whole setup... Here goes...
Starting with the receiver, I have a Sony STR-DH130...
Hello All,
I have a Pioneer PL-50 Turntable, the original, not the 80's reissue... As I was trying to align my cartridge, for the millionth time last night, I decided to "float" the tonearm, and try something I haven't tried messing with... The "Anti-Bias," this could also be referred to as the...
Good Afternoon all,
I am looking to upgrade my new cart from a conical stylus, to something better. I have an Audio Technica, CN5625AL...
I finally have it aligned correctly, as there's no distortion at the end of the record at all, but the sibilance is killing me. Also, to any Lightfoot fans...
Afternoon all, i just recieved a new cartridge over the holidays. I believ i almost have it aligned correctly. It sounds wonderful over my speaksrs, free of any distortion I had with my previous, quite finicky, PC-35. When I put my headphones on, even with new records, there is still a hint of...
Hello All,
I have a Pioneer Pl-50 turntable, and after trying in vein to align my Cart (PC-35) I'm looking to modernize my turntable just a bit. Moreso, I would just like a cartridge that is a bit newer. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe my cart is one of the best ever made. That's why I'm here, is to ask...
