turntable

Hi, I have a pair of Spendor classic 4/5 speakers currently connected to a NAD C 356BEE integrated amp and a chromecast audio dongle. I also have a project turntable connected via a separate Cambridge RIAA amp. I am primarily using streaming, Spotify/qobuz lossless and looking to upgrade my...

Hi, I’d like to share my latest turntable measurement procedure that I’ve been working on. It’s still under development, so I’ll focus more on describing the procedure than on the results or overall quality of the tested turntable. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome! Tested...

Hi, I have a problem with my turntable. It’s not only sentimental to me, but it also has great synergy with the audio gear I own. Unfortunately, it has lost control of the rotational speed: right after starting, the platter speeds up beyond any reasonable limit. It’s probably a fault in the...

I have a vintage Denon turntable, which has two earth leads, tonearm earth wire associated with the RCA leads, and a chassis earth wire (with a small spade, like the tonearm earth wire). I feed the turntable AC via a 240 three pin -100V two pin isolating step-down transformer, as Japan model...

Hello everyone. I live in Italy and I am thinking of buying some turntables to listen to such as Concerto grosso for the New Trolls. I usually listen to progressive or classical music but I am not satisfied with some CD recordings. I am looking for a turntable that works well with my current...

Hi everyone! I am thinking of buying a Project debut carbon evo turntable that comes with a Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. To pair with it I currently have an Ifi Zen Air Phono Pre amp, a Denon PMA 600 NE amp and a couple of Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 speakers. I wanted to ask you if you think it could...

Hello. I live in Europe, and im searching for a turntable! The whole set up is a work in progress, my collection is around 50 vinyls at the moment, and I plan to get the " tangent preamp II " for remote fuctions... as for speakers, i own some crappy active Edifiers R1280t, but as I said, its a...

Hey guys, Are you tired of searching for "that" specific test record you need for "this" one test you want to conduct? Does going desperately through your pile of test LPs get you weird looks from your friends and family? Have you always dreamed of having that "one" test record that would...

Hello all, first time poster. I would love to have some suggestions on a phono preamp. I’m struggling to find what people would recommend as the best for under $1000. I’m not a super technical person so I’m struggling. Any help would be good! My current setup: Technics 1210GR Nagaoka MP-500...

I've had a good look through the forum and it doesn't seem this has been asked anywhere. I'm slowly building my hifi setup and I'm up to the point now where I need to choose a cartridge and stylus for my turntable. Whilst I have enjoyed going down the rabbit hole for almost everything component...

Hello, I am currently in the process of digitizing a lot of older (1950's & earlier) media to archive online. We are starting with vinyl (33 1/3 & 45) and 78s. We do not have any record players that are capable of playing 78s currently, so we were looking to buy a 3-speed turntable with a...

I know these types of questions have probably been asked a lot but I am looking for some advice specific for my setup. Happy to hear suggestions on any front!!! Context: Gifted and handed down a bunch of vinyls, mostly classical (which is great because I listen to a lot of classical). I know...

It says toshiba and aurex. Wondering what model this is and how much it is.

Hi, Are MC cartridges prone to damage in shipping such that ground loops in otherwise fine systems become common, or is it me? I recently bought my first MC cartridge, Rega Ania Pro, to replace an Exact II. I mounted the Ania Pro, changed the JC3+ back pannel setting to MC 50-500 ohms...

I am setting up a relatively easy-to-use budget-friendly record player arrangement for my stepfather, who has shelves of old records. Finally got a Fluance RT82 but debating what to do after that. Seems like my paths diverge to - phono preamp + powered speakers - phono preamp + amp + passive...

Does anyone have any experience with Onix Eclipse turntable? Not much information or user reviews on the interweb. Only some simple overviews in magazines etc: https://www.on-mag.fr/index.php/topaudio/actualites-news/11816-onix-eclipse-une-platine-vinyle-haut-de-gamme-complete-et-tres-innovante

I have been inspired by @JP 's various scripts for measuring cartridge frequency response and plotting W&F. It gave me an idea of writing a similar script to calculate the RPM of a turntable platter with as much precision as possible. I settled on a method of using the 'click' that is produced...
