    Replacement Cartridge for my Pioneer pl-570

    I have pl-570 turntable that was handed down to me a few years ago. I finally got around to setting back up after a few years of it being dormant. I think it would be wise to change the cartridge/stylus as it I don't know how old it is. The cart is a audio technica AT12Sa which sounds great but...

    Sansui FR-D3 vs Technics SL-B20

    I have these two turntables, and both are strong runners. I am trying to determine which is the better unit for my humble stereo setup (Hitachi HTA-35F amp/tuner and a set of PSB Passif II speakers). Does anyone here have an idea how they compare?

    Electro-Voice 1182 capacitor confusion

    A neighbor gave me an electro voice 1182 a few years back. Right channel works, however left channel is very faint. I’ve identified the problem as a damaged, leaking 50mfd cap in the power amplifier board. This brings me down to the question, is mfd the same as uF? If not, please let me know the...

    I am looking to get a starter desktop DAC for my gaming setup. My two choices are the Schiit Modi or the JDS Atom DAC. I’ve heard good things about both, which is why I am completely spilt between the two. The JDS is cheaper by 20 dollars, but the Modi will interface well with my preexisting...

    Vintage Shure cartridge or get a new Nagaoka MP-110?

    Hello. I just joined this website 5 minutes ago in hopes of getting some opinions on which route i should go with this. I just got a Technics SL-220 that came with an old Shure R47XT cartridge installed on it. Never used it yet, but decided to order a new replacement stylus rather than get a...

    Infinity Modulus any good in 2024?

    Hey there! I've always liked the industrial looking design, but I'm wondering if they're good enough to be worth getting these days? Not sure what they sound like. I'd be running them with a 400/800 watt Pascal amplifier. I currently have Monitor Audio PL100 and JBL Ti10k, along with some...

    SL-1200 Cart Recommendations

    I recently purchased a used Technics 1200 off of eBay, which doesn't include a cart. I still have some money (~100 bucks) to go decently high-end. Does anyone have good cartridge recommendations or ones to avoid? Thanks!

    Hello, I am looking for good tubes to use with my Schiit audio Vali, and they claim that the Vali can take any tube with a 6v heater and a heater current less than 600mA.

    How quickly do cassettes degrade?

    About a month ago, I got myself a REM Automatic for the People cassette tape. One distinguishing feature of that Cassette was its transparent tape, but it worked fine so I disregarded it. Recently, I checked the tape, and I found that the tape had turned a more common brown color. I haven't...

    What music/albums do you guys use to test your equipment?

    I was wondering if there were any good songs/albums that can be used to test equipment. I personally use everloving by moby to test stereo range, scarlet fire by Otis McDonald to test tone range, and DSOTM as an overall test. What songs do you guys use?
