You are correct. I think i may have too old of a cart, i bought from another owner who doesn't know the milage because i dont know how to palace it correctly.

If it's a 680 like mine, they were made from 1979 on. The previous owner of my table bought the cart brand new in '79, so I'm looking to upgrade. I just replaced the stylus (~$20 on ebay, IIRC) to buy a little more time and so that I won't destroy my records.

 One of the nicest turntables to ever grace this thread! These I hear can keep up with the older VPI top level designs.
 
 
A complete work of art.

Couple of pics of my Grado Prestige Gold1 on my Technics SL-1200M3D. Great, lush sounding cart for the most part but doesn't track as well as I would like.

Very nice, and all those upgrades! How do you like the Groovetracer upgrades? I've been looking into those for my RP3. What cart do you run with the P5?

Vinyl ripping question: Is going from my phono stage output to my motherboard's line in into Audacity adequate for this? Will I get all the detail etc? It's just an ASUS P5QL LGA 775 board. I wanna buy some stuff on vinyl but I don't wanna buy it again in digital...

I think that's good enough. As long as your computer has a dedicated line-in, you're probably okay

Cool, thanks. I'll try it.

Well Tempered setup with nuded/brass plate DL-103 and Artemis Labs phono stage.

Beautiful table, TubeDriver. How does the nude DL-103 sound different from the stock one?

The nuded dl-103 sounds a little more focused.  A bigger advantage is that you can use your own mounting plate (brass in this case).  The additional weight really helps to smooth out the cartridge and allows it work with more tone arms.
