WTB: House of Balloons bootleg
-
Hi there. I'm looking to buy the House of Balloons bootleg. Don't really care about the color or anything else like that. I'd just prefer that the record itself is clean, and the cover is at least in decent condition (a few blemishes are okay). I figure I can't afford the legitimate one, but I can afford the bootleg. Thanks in advance! I know I don't have feedback here but I do have several different sources of feedback (eBay name is same on here, www.caraudio.com also has feedback of mine.)

Upgrade for Music Hall MMF 2.2?
xmakeafistx replied to xmakeafistx's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Thank you for the helpful reply. I'm probably just going to bring my table to the shop. A little intimidating going to those stores sometimes, with plenty of equipment worth more than my car. P.S. I did just copy and paste the list from the local retailer, I didn't even notice VPI was on there, I'm well aware they make very high end products. P.S.S. Thank you jdtg for keeping this a friendly environment, I agree that there is no place for some of the smart-assery I see on most forums. -
Hey there, VC. I've owned my Music Hall MMF 2.2 for about a year now, and I'm getting pretty bored with the sound of it. I feel this could be fixed by upgrading a cartridge, or maybe finding a new table all together, I don't know. I'm looking at the Ortofon 2M Blue, and AT440MLa. I'd like to keep to MM so I don't have to do a platter/weight upgrade. I'd like to buy locally since I don't trust myself with replacing a cartridge (read about weak wires on the Music Hall). These are the brands I have to choose from: Audio-Technica Benz-Micro Clearaudio Esoteric Sound Michell Musical Surroundings Ortofon Pfanstiehl Pro-Ject Shure SME Sony Sumiko VPI I have about 200 dollars to spend at max, but I'd really like to keep it at 150 or so. I'd like to have an analytical sound, not so much of a casual listener sound. Just an emphasis on accuracy. It'd also be nice to have a cartridge that is durable, I'm unsure if this is a common concern (never have messed with swapping carts), but I wouldn't want to buy something unreliable. Thanks in advance.
