Hello all!
I am working on the blow microphone for a friend. Hooking it up it doesn't produce any sound thru his mixer/amp setup. (See mic below)
I am an automation engineer by training but I don't have very much experience with audio equipment. I assume that older microphones like this are...
Help my Shure V15II stylus just broke I don't know what to do...
I bought an AR XA a few years ago with a v15improved that had a bent but still working original stylus. I got tired of the channel imbalance due to the bent stylus and tried a Pfanstihl replacement and have been pretty dissatisfied...
I’m having some trouble finding out anything about this cartridge and stylus, any help would be appreciated. Specifically, who makes (made) it? What would be the equivalent model in the on-brand line-up? And any opinions you might have. It seems low-middle end, is in great shape and sounds just...
Hello everybody, It's my first thread here.
Today my pickering stylus broke. I have a V-15 Micro cartidge. I was thinking changing everything but not spend too much money (the situation with taxes here in Argentina is obscene).
Well, I saw the Ortofon Omega and the Shure E92.
Specs:
Technics...
Folks,
I purchased a 1600x USB microscope to check my stylus on my V15 VMR stylus; I'm the original owner (!) and I know I've not played more than 100 records on this stylus. I've added photos to this post to see if anyone sees what I do; a misshapen stylus as if one side is more worn than the...
Got this for 100 bucks put on a Shure M97xe cart...TT in excellent condition including the dust cover...is this a keeper or what...i would like opinions please
Saw this on eBay - I think it is missing stamps (on bottom of cartridge, stylus) that should be on a genuine Shure V15. What do you guys think? Real or Fake?
I have a Shure Premier cartridge, and currently have a Shure 3X stylus attached. Everything sounds great, but I've read that the 3X may not be compatible. What's the downside if it sounds good?
I have these 2 laying around and am wondering if getting stylus for them is worth my time. What's the story behind them? I have found some info on the r1000xt but very little info on the s320
I just picked up a Pioneer PL-35A and the owner threw in a Realistic cart that is identified as a Shure RS 9E.
Is it worth replacing the stylus? The thought is to keep it around as a backup.
So tonight I was in the process of installing some new AT6101 headshell leads and preparing to return some counterfeit Technics headshells back to a store when I noticed the probable reason that I've been having one channel drop out recently on one of my Shure M447 cartridges. As I was...
This morning, I was in the mood for Bossa Nova. I was searching eBay and Discogs to see what was available at a price I liked. I was disappointed to see many versions of vinyl that were up there, $50 plus. However I did find a few that were prices I liked. Only all from different sellers except...
Hey everyone,
Received my N97xe Vividline stylus in the mail from LP Gear and the stabilizer brush is not behaving like the stock brush does. When the Vividline stabilizer is engaged (but in a resting position) it sits much lower than the stock brush does. (See comparison pics, excuse the...
So I've got both an M55e and a M44e (both brown bodies) and I've got a VN35e Super Track Plus stylus - will the VN35e fit either of those? I'm assuming if it did, it would be a step up from the new 4759-DET stylus I have now correct?
If this is being posted in the wrong location I apologize. It's my first post I have recently acquired a single speed (33 1/3 RPM) turntable with a Rek O Kut Micropoise tone arm mounted a large particle board plinth with high quality veneer and a quality dust cover. The Turntable looks much like...
Hello everyone, I purchased a Sanyo TP 1000 awhile back and am currently in the market for a new cartridge. I have been looking at vintage and modern cartridges. Of the vintage options I have been looking at Shure, Pickering, Ortofon, and Audio Technica. Of the newer offerings, I have been...
I've got three Dual turntables right now. A 1019 with a Shure M74E, a 1209 with a Shure M44-7, and a Dual 1216 with a Shure M95ED.
I’ll be keeping one of them, and I’m afraid I will let the others go with a cartridge I should have kept. I do have other cartridges including a Stanton L727E, a...
I am sure that this from Shure "has made the rounds" - but it is new to me (and of interest as I plan to install a V15 type IV onto a Denon DP35f turntable shortly). So I thought I would (re)share this if anyone was interested...
So, as some of you here already know, I've been on a lookout for "genuine" M91 ED/GD cart (from the pic, below) for quite literally ages now, but unfortunately I keep finding nothing locally... TBH, I even considered importing one from the States, but by the time I pay for the actual cartridge...
Hi guys!
I have been running my Thorens TD-160 with a Grado Prestige Gold and a Signature 8MX with a Gold1 stylus and then an 8MZ and i was really pretty happy with everything.
Until I damaged both stylii (incredible uh?!)...
At the same time someone was trashing a cheap old turntable I can't...
My sister wanted to buy me an old turntable for Christmas so I sent her a link to decent looking Dual 1019 on eBay. She had the winning bid. The listing says
"It has a Shure M31E with original stylus. They are in nice condition and play well."
Is this a good turntable/cartridge combo, or should...
I have had my TT, Technics SL 23, for a little while now. Bought it used with a used stylus on it. The cartridge is a Shure SPS-4, with the model number D15DX, but it does not have the N14 original stylus. I’ve probably put around 500 hours on it, but I’m not sure how many were played on it...
Hi All,
I recently connected my turntable to a new setup and am lacking any amount of bass. Months of troubleshooting has brought me nowhere. I have eliminated the input I'm using for my soundsystem, as all other sources I plug into that input have expected bass. I've also eliminated the Phono...
In going through my 'old stereo stuff', as others call it, I came across several cartridges. I know the two Shure RXT's are p-mounts, and the others are standard 1/2" mount.
Grado F3+ (unknown usage)
Shure SC39EJ (unknown usage)
Shure RXT4 and 5 (unknown usage)
Technicraft TC3000 (in box...

Shure V-15 cartridge with stylus -and spare stylus
Shure R47XT cartridge with 3x stylus
Empire 2000 E/lll cartridge with stylus
The cartridges are used and were "working" when last used. But, that is the only information I have on...
