    Like a Phoenix, I rise? (Continuation from Intro)

    So, if you read my (hopefully entertaining) intro post, you know that I have been dabbling in 2-channel high-end, mid-level and budget audio for nearly 40 years. I have come full circle and am ready to build a new budget-minded system. But where was I to begin? So much had changed! We'd gone...

    Hello all, I'm new to the whole vinyl thing, looking to get my very first set-up. My plan has been to pick-up a U-Turn Orbit or a used deck for less than $300 off eBay (I'm on a tight budget for this) ... but I just dug a BIC 960 out of my in-laws closet. I've poked around a bit and it sounds...

    Pioneer PL-750 vs a new entry level turntable

    I got my PL-750 included with a complete Pioneer system around a year ago, so it was cheap. Would something like the u-turn be better?

    U-Turn Orbit Sibilance issues

    Hello, I recently upgraded my turntable from the stock stylus/cartridge to an Ortofon 2m Red, the 2m has around 7 to 12 hours of use on it as of now I have started to notice some serious sibilance issues.
