    Pro-Ject 2xperience SB tonearm upgrade?

    Hey guys, I'm curious about my 2xperience sb's tonearm. I'm wondering if it'll be possible to upgrade it in the future, and if so, which tonearms would fit? It says it uses a Linn mount, and I assume I'd have to find something with similar measurements wrt overhang, distance to spindle, etc...

    I'm sort of crazy, don't you think?

    Hi, I want to start a project of taking a middle price turntable to the next level. What I want to do is to take a DD turntable disassemble it, change the plinth for another made with layers or silestone, lead and rubber, installing high quality vibration isolators in place of the regular...

    Hi all Just bought this old TT. Have not owned any sort of TT before, so pretty new to the Game. I am thinking of making this a project TT. That being said, can anyone give a list of compatable cartridges / needles that I can use with this TT. Or can I just use anyone ? It says to use...

    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.

    Pro-Ject 1.3 motor vibration. Normal or not?

    Hi, guys! I am fixing a Pro-Ject 1.3 for a friend who had an accident with it and the tonearm needed to be rewired and readjusted. I haven't received the new wires so I haven't listened to it yet. The point is that I decided to test the motor and the platter to check if there was something...

    If you had a choice between these 2 preamps...

    The Pro-Ject Phonobox DS or the Gram Amp 2 SE Which would you pick and why? I'm running a Debut Carbon with Orto 2m Blue -> Sansui 2000a -> Focal 807v's Thanks P.S. I spin mostly dub/reggae and classic punk and alternative with occasional bouts of jazz and metal.

    Heya Fellas' Ground your pre-amp to the ground lead of the turntables power lead, the end that plugs into the rear of the turntable (I just wrapped a cable around it and forced it in :P), as well as the regular ground post.

    REPLACING 8 OHM TWEETER WITH 16 OHM HORN

    What would be the expected results of replacing a 8 ohm tweeter with a 16 ohm compression driver and horn? Since there is double the impedance, should I expect lower output? Could someone please give me a crash course in basic speaker design and break it down for me? Thanks P.s Im aware that...

    What to do with a Project Essential?

    I recently got a new TT, but I still have my old Project Essential, to which I added a couple of upgrades - brass footers made by Edensound and an acrylic platter. I also added a Speedbox 2 - that failed which was my reason for deciding to get a new TT, as the Speedbox isn't sold in Japan...
