New (to me) Marantz receiver is a major upgrade...
trott3r replied to Tulsa1989's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Amplifiers normally have the least affect on the sound of all the components. Glad you are happy but i expect the receiver is coloring the sound rather than being more transparent. -
Utilize RIIA:s for best performance

Does the lack of gain mean you have to introduce distortion with you amplifier though? Just wondering. -

Sennheiser momentum headphones
trott3r replied to aviolentworld's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
I have been using the over ear momentums myself and have enjoyed using them but they have a little bass bloom. Just bought some nad visio hp50 for £150 and they are superior closed back cans and no bass bloom -
CD deck headphone output problem / question
trott3r replied to SE7EN's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Does the schiit have the ability to reduce volume? I need it to be less than line level as line level is too loud for me. I have not come across any headphone amps that do this. -

Power Discussion (outlets, strips, conditioners)
trott3r replied to Seafinch's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Always a difficult one this. Whether you benefit or not depends on where you live. In a city there will be few problems with the power but if you are near heavy industry the electricity will be "dirty" I have a UPS for my PC but i dont plug my hifi into it since it doesnt produce pure square? waves which electricity from the mains is. Fine for the PC brownouts but not so great on cleaning up the supply. -
Looking for advice on upgrading my setup
trott3r replied to Billich0986's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Do you have any dealers near you that specialise in technics upgrades? In the UK there are a few that advertise in hifi magazines so check the magazines in your locale. -
software for digital recording of vinyl
trott3r replied to kevbayer's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
I would record the vinyl in what ever format audacity supports then convert later. Personally i use a high end minidisc recorder 555es 24bit depth but lossy ATRAC. Then transfer the minidisc to the computer in WAV format. I use foobar player for converting WAV into FLAC but it does all formats. -

Interesting do you have a link for any posts that it can be used for stylus cleaning? Browsing through amazon uk reviews but have not seen it mentioned yet. -
Good Stylus Cleaner for <$25
trott3r replied to zdkaiser's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
At the high concentration 97% of alcohol i think any on the stylus will evaporate before it gets to the suspension or glue if any did move up with capillary action. I did use a Audio technica vibrating brush but i think that was likely to cause problems to the suspension and now just use the alcohol on an artist natural bristle brush. -

Should be fine unless you are thinking about touching the suspension with the alcohol? -

Humming from a pro-ject debut carbon ..
trott3r replied to Dustyeyes's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
My project perspective plugged in to a creek phono stage has hum at half of full volume with no music I think this is normal, as long as you dont hear hum at normal listening levels and during music the earth link should be ok. -
What does a worn out record sound like?

I have bought the odd second hand record that is well worn. The distortion is what i noticed more than anything else particularly on the innner tracks. -

Turntable won't play beginning of records
trott3r replied to matozoa's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
"Also, I intend on buying a new player soon anyway, so please don't anybody just say something like ''You need to get a new turntable man'' because that's not actual advice, and that's what I sometimes seem to see on places like these. Not being rude, it just isn't useful advice." Sadly you do need a new turntable these TTs are notoriously bad and damage your records. It is sadly too cheap to even play a record without damaging it. I would take it back myself and get a refund and say it doesnt play my records and so is not fit for purpose. A second hand record player or a project essentials at £150 in the uk is the most basic TT that works properly,
