This is great information- thank you so much.

Thank you all for your kind guidance. I’m definitely a TT novice and learning along the way. I just decided to take my head shell off for a proper look and it turns out I do not have the Sanyo cartridge that the manual had specified, but rather a Shure RM91OED, which means my stylus is an M91...

Got it- thanks!

I have heard back from the folks at Soundsmith and much to my disappointment, they do not feel the Grace RS-9EB will be a suitable drop-in replacement. They don't offer any return policy, so not worth the risk of buying it to see if it fits. My original stylus from Sanyo was the ST-35D, which...

Will do. Just sent an email to Soundsmith, including my TT make/model and a link to the same stylus I'm currently using. I hope they'll get back to me with some confirmation. If not, I'll go with the AT-Vm95e. Also, just to share with you all, I bought my first LP in over 35 years today at the...

Thank you again! It looks like the Grace RS-9EB (green, bonded elliptical) or the Grace RS-9E (blue, nude elliptical) are the two I could likely afford, leaning towards the former, as I'm not sure if my TT is "worthy" of the latter. If these are indeed slide-in replacements and I don't have to...

This is great information! Do you have any idea how I could go about finding an upgraded cartridge that would be a direct slide-in replacement? I would have no idea how to start searching this out. It would be an absolute ideal scenario if I could have a new/improved stylus and not have to mess...

It arrived today and instantly, I'm noting all the high frequencies previously missing are present. Absolutely wonderful sounding! I think the phono stage in the receiver was indeed the rate limiting factor. I'm so glad you and others recommended this one.

Makes sense about the EQ. No, I have not yet upgraded the cart. I thought I'd try the phono stage first and if there's no difference, I'd just return it (or keep it, as a TT upgrade may be in future). Regarding the cart, there are so many different recommendations and it's overwhelming. I'm...

Thanks- Yes, the TT has the original hardwired 1980 interconnects. I've ordered an external phono preamp and if this doesn't show any improvement over the phono stage built-in to my receiver, I'll return it and go with the external analog EQ unit...or "bite the bullet" and save for a new TT.

Ordered and should arrive by Saturday! I'll keep everyone posted. Thank you!

OP here!! Streaming you say?? May have to look that up in the dictionary to see what it means. ;) Yes, well aware and use it often, and utilize FLAC & ALAC lossless audio primarily. The TT is an additional source of enjoyment that is simply different and not better/worse. Quick recap: My ears...

It's a toy, right? For kids 0-12 years of age. I don't see this one going to Amir for measurement!!

I actually could not determine the mass of the tone arm. I looked at the original service manual here, but it doesn't specify, unfortunately: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/905664/Sanyo-Tp1005.html#manual

Understood- Well, in doing some quick research and getting some opinions from TT enthusiasts, I'm told I'm looking at least at $1K for a TT. I had originally investigated some $500-ish offerings, but most guys didn't think those were worth entertaining. So, I'd rather not splurge and see if I...

I was playing one of my LP's- David Lee Roth. Full band, with drums, guitars, bass, keys, and vocals. I keep coming back to the question- Is this a limitation of my generic stylus/cart or the phono stage is my 1991 Technics receiver? I suppose I could buy a new stand-alone phono pre and see if...

When in the phono input, the frequencies being received from the TT are displayed. The receiver's eq and treble/bass controls are disabled and the signal is going from the TT into the phono stage and then directly to the line out. So the image is showing a good amount of bass and midrange, but...

What I am hoping to change is a desired improvement in treble frequencies. According to my ears and the digital display below, when I play my vinyl, I tend to get decent response in the lows and midrange, but not much in the treble. The result is somewhat of a bass-centric listening experience...

This looks great- Thanks for the recommendation and I'll research it!

Sincere thanks- This is solid advice. I think as a music lover, I primarily listen to lossless audio files, through a great DAC (RME ADI-2), and a great headphone amp (Linear Tube Audio MZ3). Since my tube headphone amp has three inputs, I decided to hook up my Sanyo turntable and re-discover my...
