Hi there,

Looking for the very scarce transparent purple with black variant from this album (Bossk - Audio Noir).

Thanks.

Hi, I would like to find this edition - the limited 2x colored 45RPMs from 20 Buck Spin.

Anyone selling this?

Thanks.

Ps. Also interested in the wooden box edition, but I guess these are rarely offered.

As per title, looking for this in vinyl. There were 2 editions, I don't care if it's the first press or the repress. If anybody is interested in selling please let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks @yanquiuxo, I will check these cartridges. For the time being this seems the most sensible option. 

I will make sure the cartridge is properly aligned. Alignment of my current cart wasn't an issue using one of the protractors from VinilEngine.

Thanks again!

I disagree.  The turntable (and cartridge) is the obvious bottleneck of your system.  Your amp and speakers are actually decent and the cartridge on your table is considered entry level at best.
 

Thanks for your reply Yanquiuxo (another fellow GYBE! fan here). As I wasn't very sure about this turntable because of little feedback about it I didn't want to heavily invest on the cartridge. After all this turntable costed 60 euro, same as the cartridge.

I read that Ortofon OM10 is quite similar to the 2M Red, but the latter seems to be quite bright and that may not pair well with the sound of the AS500, right? 

I am happy with the sound I get from other sources (cd and chromecast audio), not so happy with the sound from the turntable. Given the peculiarities of the Yamaha AS500 what cartridge would you recommend? Or would it make sense to invest in a turntable instead of a cartridge?

Thanks again for the comments. 

Hi there,

As I can see the Yamaha AS-500 is a rather popular amp here. I got one in pristine condition and paired it with an old Sony PS-LX4 turntable (with Ortofon OM10 cart) and two big floor standing speakers (Teufel Ultima 40 Mk II, they are quite popular here in Germany).

I am not 100% happy with the sound. The cart cannot be blamed as it is new. The speakers were bought to a guy who used them for 6 months only and they are quite ok.

For those of you who own the AS-500, could you recommend some floor standing speakers and turntable? The latter is easier to recommend as a good Pro-ject Debut will do the job (not willing to spend more than 300 euro), but I would invest up to 700 euro approx on the speakers. The room is 25 sqm.

Would appreciate your input guys.

Many thanks.

Hi there,

Looking for this variant  - King Woman - Created In The Image Of Suffering  (gold/bone variant). Really hard to find one but willing to negotiate a price.

PM if anyone is interested.

Thanks.
