    Vinyl Weight Quality

    Thanks for the advice. I just bought one that is Technics branded for my 1200GR2. Hopefully it works well. If nothing else, the bronze/gold look of it should pop off of the black of the TT.

    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    I am checking out his site. Curious how you can tell from his postings that they are audiophile pressings? He has a lot of great options. Thanks.

    Vinyl Weight Quality

    Thanks. I'll check their website too, and do a little more digging. It's good to know that there are possible issues, as I thought it was going to be a one size fits all for that. Better to avoid the problem if I can. Lots to learn.

    Vinyl Weight Quality

    I am looking at the Technics 1200GR2, so let me check their site and see if they mention any restrictions for a record weight before I buy one. Any am looking for stylus brushes and record cleaners/brushes too, so I will add this to that list. Thanks again

    Vinyl Weight Quality

    Thanks. I have been thinking about this as some of the accessories for the table I am looking at buying. It is the Technics 1200GR2. Curious if you think I need use a specific weight on that table? Thanks again

    Vinyl Weight Quality

    Thanks so much. Do you have any recommendations for good sites I can use to verify the quality of the mastering or general sound of a record? So far I have been checking out discogs, Burning Shed, and Amazon some info. But curious if there are better sites that are more granular? Thanks again

    Vinyl Weight Quality

    Thanks for the great feedback. It puts it in perspective for me, and was a great explanation. I am thinking about getting the Technics 1200GR2 and was planning to buy a record weight for it. I hadn't read about any restrictions on that table, but curious if you think there will be possible...

    Vinyl Weight Quality

    Hello all - Newbie to the community, so learning as I go. I have been reading about different weights of vinyl records, in this case 12" records and wanted to get some feedback from the community on their experience with heavier records, and whether or now they're worth the extra money they...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Thanks for the response. That seems to be pretty consistent with what others have been saying. May I ask what cartridge you're using on it and if you've done any upgrades to it? Thanks again.

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    This is great feedback. Thanks. I have watched some videos about adjustment and setup, and the balancing of the tonearm plus anti skate should be fine. I am even going to get a stylus scale just to ensure it's correct. That's good to know on the headshells and cartridges. The mounting of...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    It doesn't. I got mixed up with another table, so I need to update that. My bad, When you say easy cart swapping what do you mean? I know the head shell twists off which looks like it makes swapping out new cartridges pretty easy, as long as they come mounted to a new head shell? Still...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Hi - thanks for the feedback. You're right! I must have gotten that mixed up when I was looking at other Technics tables. I will update my original post and remove that aspect of the table. It seems they're highly rated by people, and it's about the top of the price range for what I want to...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Hello all - Quick question to finalize some thoughts on a new turntable. Haven't had one for years, and am trying to finalize my final list on a few options. Still fairly new in catching up on new offerings and lingo, so please bear with my ignorance. Curious if anyone who owns any of these...

    McIntosh MT5

    Hey, thanks again. I appreciate it. A lot of that made no sense to me, so I think I am kind of putting the cart before the horse right now and need to read up on cartridges and the lingo. I have never owned a TT before, so this is all really new to me. Has been fun to learn what I have so...

    McIntosh MT5

    Hey, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. Right now I am considering the STR 2 channel amplifier and Preamp by Anthem. Seems like a good fit for what i am trying to do, and I have an Anthem HT which has been rock solid. If you disagree, or you think that won't fit the bill, i'd love to...

    McIntosh MT5

    I am looking to do something similar with a Hana ML or MH. I am curious how the cartridge worked out for you, and how hard was it to change out? Thanks.

    Any advice for a cartridge that would be a good replacement?
