    Who is the manufacturer of this turntable platter?

    Who is the manufacturer of this turntable platter? I can't recognize it, I took it with Pro-Ject P2.9. It seems pretty heavy. What kind of the player can it belong to? Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hey all, I've been running an Ortofon 2mm red with an old Dual turntable for very occasional vinyl listening and it's been fine, but the left channel is going out and the dust cover is busted. Because of the winter cold I'm spending a lot more time in my living room where the TT setup lives...

    Project RPM 5.1swap

    Hi All, wonder how much is the Marantz TT15S1 a bargain these days, would it be worth it to swap Project RPM 5.1 for it (cartridge aside since we're talking used gear; AT20Sla would be put on it, however). What change can be expected, anything 'night&day'? Any experiences you may share? Thanks.

    just took delivery of this beautiful TT, and yes I know I paid a premium for an Essential III with graphics I'll never hear but I don't care. One thing I do care about though, is the cartridge, the OM10 is nice but not the standard I like, slightly "muddy" . At first I was going to go to the...

    Pro-ject Debut Carbon woes, regret, and acceptance.

    My first NEW turntable - fresh out of the box - hum in left channel. Took a chance and never sent it back, figured the combined wisdom of the internets could not fail me (plus I think I recycled the box). Many rubber grommets, quarter turns of motor screws, replaced cables, swearing...
