Hi, I'm new here, but I think this is the place that can help me. I recently moved from Metro Chicago to Metro Detroit, and in the process, my old TT got destroyed. I have been using a Dual 1218 with Shure V-15 ERA ii, ERA iii & ERA iv stylii for 50+ years, feeding a Marantz 4430 Receiver...
I currently run a Marantz 2245 with a cheap Audio Technica turntable. The plan all along was to update the table but for now I need to keep the cost down. I have looked at the vintage versus new debate and had almost decided that a new $500 table would probably suffice my needs for now. I...
I've created and am currently selling an acrylic platter that is very similar to the acrylic platter that Pro-Ject sells. I've been selling it for about a year now, and have just now been made aware of a potential issue that I was wanting advice on. I know it is probably unusual for a supplier...
Hey guys I posted on here a few months back about being new to turntables. I got busy with work so I wasn't able to get too deep into it. I found a Technics SL1200MK2 for sale near me that was just recently serviced and already comes with a cartridge so its ready to go. They are asking $550 for...
Just wondering if anyone can give me some tips on improving my current setup, I am open to any and all suggestions. I love the amp and speakers, just want to be wowed again. Perhaps by qualities like tighter bass, more soundstage, more separation. Let's say my budget is 1,000-1,500 from where I...
Hi. I have a one year old Pro-ject Debut Carbon with a Ortofon Red cart. It was working well until the anti skate weight fell off for the millionth time yesterday. I put it back on and now I'm getting an intermittent rumble sound when it plays albums. No problem when it's not touching...
My fellow experts, I am lost. It's my first time buying a TT and my budget is rather short. I have EUR400 to spend and here in Berlin, Germany, there is not much good quality vintage TT (or at least nothing I could find). After going back and forth I realized I am stuck and cannot decide between...
Hey all,
Long time lurker, it has been forever since I posted.
This is my system. I like it and have few complaints. However I just left a long and painful relationship and want to reward myself a bit with an upgrade as I was happy just to have been able to keep everything.
At the bottom is...
I'm new and I'm tired of researching at this point. The only thing I'm positive about is this is where to get the best advice :). I'm not looking to do a bunch of work or upgrades right away, I've been buying records before having a setup and I want to get going. That being said, I don't want...
Hello all,
I'm reaching out as a desperate beginner having problems with my very first set up. First, I'll list out the equipment, which may or may not suck depending on all of your standards, but is my equipment nonetheless:
- Receiver - Onkyo TX-8255 with phono input
- TT - Pro-Ject Debut...
inb4, if there is an existing thread or a better place for this discussion to happen, please let me know.
Thanks to tax return season I'm ready to upgrade my current economy turntable (Teac TN100). I'm looking for a brand new table up to $400...perhaps slightly higher if something piques my...
