WalnutSoap Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hey guys, I'm aware that this is a super noob thread, so I won't take up too much of your time. Basically I just moved house, and despite taping everything on my turntable down, I just set her up and the stylus looks a little wonky to me. Hoping one of you can tell me whether or not it's ok. Here she is: Thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalnutSoap Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 BALLS. Might order a whole new cartridge - I don't think I trust myself to replace the stylus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajxd Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 BALLS. Might order a whole new cartridge - I don't think I trust myself to replace the stylus. You don't trust yourself to replace the stylus... But you trust yourself to replace the cartridge?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 You don't trust yourself to replace the stylus... But you trust yourself to replace the cartridge?! You're right - I looked at the process for doing both, and it seems that the stylus is easier to replace (save for the potential added risk of grazing the needle with my fat fingers). There wasn't much of a price difference in it (£4), but I've gone for the needle. Ultimately I want to upgrade to something a bit snazzier, but I haven't decided what yet.

ajxd Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Jesus. £4 stylus, £8 cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 £21 for the stylus, £25 for the catridge (AT95e). I think I'll start saving for the Ortofon Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Ah. Ok. Makes better sense. I literally just sold my 2M Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearchuck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just upgraded to the AT95SA w/ Jico Shanata needle. I did something similar, except I got the Jico Bananarama needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I did something similar, except I got the Jico Bananarama needle. I thought it was a Jico Bucks Fizz or was it Bay City Rollers, I get very confused with these exotic names. On a very tenuous Bananarama note if you guys haven't seen it you should search out The Comic Strip Presents: Bad News Tour and More Bad News, they are a great British take on band rockumenteries and there's a good Bananrama joke in the 2nd one. Sadly the bassist Colin Grigson (Rik Mayall) died earlier this year which gave me a good reason to watch them both again with a couple of beers.

Maybe its your UK accent, but I have no idea what's going on anymore. Can we go back to making fun of Daditude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we can and I find a general feeling of not knowing what's going on is a good state to be in. I was trying to make a multi tasking post which I know is a bad move but thought it worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
