    U-Turn Turntables - Discussion, questions and advice.

    My custom arrived yesterday and I assembled it today. Have not connected it. As of today we are babysitting a 3 month old white lab that belongs to my stepdaughter and her husband as they're going out of town. We have 3 dogs of our own and this puppy has thrown a wrench in the cogs of life at...

    Grado Cartridges and Stylus - Questions and Advice.

    Yes, biggest problem I see is you didn't do it to mine. Very disappointed. My audio still sounds like it has an Audio Technica cartridge on an old Technics - because it does. Waiting for my ordered U-turn custom to ship with Grado Black3 preinstalled. :ROFLMAO:

    Welcome - Introduce Yourself Here

    Music? Just a little. Classic jazz and blues, country from the 20th century, classic rock/metal, punk, post punk/new wave, classical, bluegrass, Celtic (Scottish bagpipes), modern rock. In the 90's I saw Dave Brubeck with his sons backed by the San Diego Symphony - best concert ever! I've seen...

    Welcome - Introduce Yourself Here

    Howdy kids, Dave here (or not). I loved Tower Records in the 80's where I grew up in San Diego. All those LP's are gone after several moves and mistreatment of albums. I am reformed now and give them the love they deserve. Recently my parents gave me their collection, which isn't much, but I...

    Oh yeah, got the Grado Black3 cartridge upgrade. Let them install it! I hear it's a pain. When that wears out maybe the Blue4 will be out, or Blue5. Who knows.

    U-Turn Turntables - Discussion, questions and advice.

    I did it. Now have to wait a month for it to arrive. Walnut, acrylic, cue, stand alone Pluto... got the works. I'll look at a different preamp later, probably the Mofi StudioPhono or I may just be happy with the Pluto and leave it. My Yamaha amp doesn't have a phono input but I do have an older...

    And it's an extra $90. But it does look sweet.

    U-Turn Turntables - Discussion, questions and advice.

    I know it's been a couple of months but U-turn has instructional stuff on their website, including: Installing Your Belt As for the purple, they call it ultraviolet. I'm torn between that and getting the solid walnut. Also the red looks cool. So does the blue. And white. Maybe they should make...

    Grado Cartridges and Stylus - Questions and Advice.

    Looking at the custom, they can install the Pluto or can get one separate. I like what the Mofi PhonoStage has to offer so thinking separate and upgrade later. Yeah, I would get the U-Turn with acrylic platter and cue lever. I'm still reading and learning, taking people's experience and...

    Grado Cartridges and Stylus - Questions and Advice.

    I've been through Ham radio and photography so this isn't anything different. That's why I have a (wifi) laser printer at home, it doesn't dry out and a toner will last several years. First post here, folks. I've been reading this entire thread for the past couple of days and almost caught...
