RustyShackelford Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 so i finally upgraded from my shitty ION. i got a Stanton T60 for $60, its used but has a new cartridge/needle on it. so i think i got a good deal. how do you guys think i did? im not exactly sure what needle/cartridge it has on it since its being shipped to me, so i might want to replace it sooner rather than later, which would you guys recommend for it to get the best sound? anyone have any experiences with this table? what are the pros/cons for you? surely whatever the matter, itll be lots better than my ION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think it is a pretty good deal considering they were $200 few years back (correct me if I'm wrong Chuck.) Anyways my buddy has one and he hasn't had any issues w/ his set up or etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 yeah, i read they were $199 new, and since its in working condition with a new needle i figured i really couldnt go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 if i were to look for a better replacement stylus how would i find out which ones are compatible? im looking at needledoctor but the only ones that show its compatible are stanton brand ones, unless im missing something. surely there are some other kinds that are better that are compatible too? thanks! EDIT: i found this one http://www.amazon.com/Shure-M44-7-H-Turntablist-Technics-Headshell/dp/B0002E2LZG/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1355286151&sr=1-1&keywords=shure+stylus+stanton would you guys recommend it?
