    Sibilance on 7" records... Why?

    I have an AT-VM95ML on my Rega P1, and I am using a magnet on the back of the tonearm base to adjust the anti-skate. The anti-skate still seems to be correct, as the stylus does not tilt to either side relative to the headshell during playback, and I am pretty sure that, at least in the...

    Most Neutral Phono Cartridge Under $200 USD?

    I have an Audio Technica LP-120 turntable with an AT95E cartridge and am looking to upgrade. I've heard about Ortofon 2M Reds, but saw the Blue (which claimed to be more linear and less warm than the Red.) However, the Blue is double the price of the Red, and that claim seems suspect to me, due...

    Low Budget Vinyl Source

    As there have been so many posts recently from Head-Fiers wanting to get a taste of vinyl without the risk of blowing 500USD or more I thought it might be useful to compile a list of decent quality turntables which should be available for next to nothing ( or under 100 USD anyway !). I think...

    Vintage Turntable compared to new CDP

    Some weeks ago I bought a new Ayon CD1sc. I have spend months to figure out, which player I would call one of the best sounding CD-players I ever heard. In the end, the McIntosh MCD-301, Audio Research CD 5 and the Ayon were left. I heard them all again and the Ayon won. By sound and by price...

    Wanting to get into Vinyl for use with Headphones.

    Greetings all,     So I have been trying to resist for a while, but the more I research, the more I want Vinyl. I have done some basic research, and I am hoping to have simply some suggestions on turntables, cartridges, and phono pre-amps that would work well.    I like warming sounding...

    a cartridge question

    I have noticed today that my turntable suddenly seems about 30-50% quieter and lacking in bass, so i'm just after opinions on/confirmations of my theory that the cartridge needs replacing if possible please..   I ruled out the speakers/amp having a problem because the cd player sounds fine...

    Super budget conscious turntable buying advice? Help!

    I have an old turntable that I want to give to my friend but it needs a new cartridge. I plan to get the Red Ed for it which runs for around $25-30, and besides that I do not have an amplifier or anything I can give her. Unfortunately she lives all the way in Texas so I have to mail it which I...

    Cleaning inside of a phono cartridge?

    I might have to clean the innards of this cartridge. I’d like to read into this before I move forward. First off, I don't know what part of the cartridge this is called. "This" being the metal parts inside the red circle in the picture. I believe it’s the magnet, but I’m not sure. What is it...

    Recommendations for a first turntable?

    I recently got a couple of vinyls and wanted to get a turntable to listen to them on with my headphones and maybe purchase a set of loud speakers sometime in the future.  There is one requirement for it and that is it has to be cheap as I am a poor college student so the cheaper the better, I'm...

    The lowly phonograph--is there a decent all-in-one "record player"?

    I know the technical reasons an old-school "phonograph"--i.e. a single box that contains turntable, amplification, and speakers--can't ever be as good as a setup that keeps the speakers' vibrations from deranging the performance of the turntable and the amp.   Yet here it is--my wife would...

    Turntable used in "Looper"

    Hi guys, just saw the movie "Looper" at the cinemas.  Was wondering if anyone knew what the turntable is that is featured in this movie in the main character's apartment.  It gets itself in a few scenes.  Looks very cool (and I'm assuming expensive)...

    matching cartridge and tonearm compliance

    Hoping some expert out there could help me with a knowledge deficit. How does one determine what the compliance of a particular cartridge is, and likewise a particular tonearm. What is the process.   I once added to a discussion on a Nagaoka MM cartridge that I owned and thought better than...
