  1. I have 2 4x4's filled and there's additional shelving on top of one stuffed to the limit as well as shelving underneath my stereo units. This problem will be rearing its head for me within the next six months I'm sure...

    Get a 4x4 if it's taken you awhile to fill the unit you already have.

    what is that, about 2000 LPs?

    Did a rough count on mine not too long ago. I think it's about 1500/1800 pieces.

  2. I've had a Shure m97xE for a couple of years now and it's not bad but just a little weak, not punchy.

    I've been much better off with a Ortofon 2M Blue which should be in the same price range.

    What? 2M Blue is $199, the Shure cart is $55 from Amazon. The Shure cart is the best cart under $100.

    Well, when I bought my Shure it was about 100 euro (=US$ 135) and the 2M Blue is about 140/150 euro over here.

    Maybe it's because Ortofon are made in the EU and Shure in the US (I'm located in Italy)?

  3. Hello,

    I just picked up a cheap Technics SL 220 for $10 over the weekend that didn't come with a headshell, cartridge, or stylus. I was wondering if it would be pointless to put a Shure M97xE cartridge on it or if I should stick with something cheaper since the turntable is on the lower end of things. Also, as far as headshells go is this a decent product?

    I'm running it through an Onkyo tx-36 receiver and JBL speakers. Thanks for any information and helping me out.

  4. Listen to them before you buy anything. Have them play some cd of your choice and if possible try it with the same components you have at home or at least something similar.

    I changed my cheap speaker set 2 years ago. I visited the local hifi store and told them my budget (around 400 euro).

    I think I tried about 5 or 6 sets of speakers before I found what suited my tastes. They had Bose (way better than expected or maybe I just have shitty ears), Canton, Chario, Jbl. I ended up getting a good deal on the Chario Silhouette and I'm so happy with them.

  5. If you're not interested in insane top speeds look into your chances of getting a used Honda Ruckus.

    I own the EU version of it (Zoomer) and it's the best thing that has happened to me in a long while.

    Absolutely fun and easy to ride everywhere, there's a crazy amount of customizations you can have fun with. But yes, the stock one is slow but you'll forget about gas.

  6. I have been looking for a budget setup for a few weeks now. I found a Technics SL-B1 belt-driven, fully manual with a new Shure M97xE for about $75. Should I jump on this? I have a good receiver/surround sound I will pump it through until my bar room is finished.

    I still have one at home but upgraded to an Ortofon 2M Blue.

    Shure 97 was not bad but just a little weak. Definitely a lot less 'punchy' than Ortofons or Grados. Maybe it was just my set up.

    Hey everybody...I'm new!
