Or rather, trying to go outside of d1scogs. anyone have good strategies to protect the buyer for large (>1K) purchases? Im probably naive to rely on paypal buyer protection but should that be adequate? Anyone have a good suggestion? Im not able to pick the items up directly Seller has 100% positive feedback for what its worth

my thread for dumb questions
shamrocks replied to shamrocks's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Good amp and speakers, I think my cart is the rate limiting step did a mild upgrade to a AT95 with plans to upgrade further in the future, the difference is notable -
my thread for dumb questions
shamrocks replied to shamrocks's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
will the phono stage help bring out some of the highs and lows or will i need another component (like an equalizer?) to do that? Since there appears to be no way to adjust "tone" (again, thread for dumb questions) -

great thats what i thought, thanks! -
So have a Technics direct drive TT with onboard preamp into a tube amp which is very nice but cant manipulate the sound at all so bass/treble etc dont always come through well. Am going to buy a phono stage (Cambridge Duo) to mitigate some of this but do i need a dedicated preamp as well? Mainly since a cartridge uprade might need more power?

should I upgrade/change my setup? any recs
shamrocks replied to shamrocks's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
yeah im loving the Technics just for the ease of use. I ended up going big with KLH Model 5 speakers and a reasonable priced tube amp, im pretty happy with it although i need to upgrade the cart -
post your set-up thread
shamrocks replied to salparadise's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Ive only got about 20 hours on the Technics and I made massive speaker and amp upgrades so hard to tell actual difference. i figured if i went with a Rega or some other belt drive option i would never again try a direct drive so wanted to give it a shot. No deficits though and its sturdy and sounds great -

shamrocks replied to salparadise's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
yeah i wanted to move to a direct drive. ive loved my TT15 but my son accidentally broke the stylus on the clearaudio cart shortly after i bought it and it was too much to get a new one so I bought a Grado Gold (still great) and enjoyed it fine. Very aesthetically pleasing as well, just wanted to make a change. Also, a bit finicky with the motor position, occasionally would get a little too close to the body and would make a hum (there is a hole cut in the chassis that fits over the motor but not to touch it - like a game of operation). not a deal breaker just something that annoyed me -
Gone already?
