Nice turntables. Attached picture is an absolute requirement.

I mostly use streaming, though since my (new) record collection expanded from 3 to 10+ I decided to replace the previous black plastic 80s model (was a really decent Sansui none the less) with this CEC BD1000 for a really good price, that looks in my opinion better with the loudspeakers and au505 amp. I should perhaps have it fine tuned and replace the suspension foam at some point (if there is any), but it works above expectations. Great sound as well.

How do you like your au-505? I got one a few months back and like it a lot. the 505 works surprisingly well with my AR4xa speakers for more nearfield listening.

The stylus is not seperatly replaceble. You need to replace the whole cartridge...

Ah I see. It was this bit on their site that confused me

“This stylus is only suitable for Black Edition Wheel”

So you replace the cart but you can only use the cart with elliptical with the silver version and the cart with the shibata with the black one

Congrats. It is a difficult to replace capacitor coupled amp in my opinion. Opened a topic about it a while ago. It has a warm colored signature, bit off treble roll-off with blooming bass. I mainly play Jazz and classic rock and it gives a nice illusion of expansion. : )

I recently found a beautiful Technics SL-1100 out in the wild for sale at one of my favorite record stores and had to have it for my desktop system. Sits right next to me and makes me feel like a DJ I fitted it with an Audio Technica AT6006R automatic tonearm lifter (for when I get caught in meetings) and a Denon DL-110 and it sounds incredible. This thing is an absolute delight to operate and I’d consider placing it in my main system to supplant my Sansui SR-929.

Forsell Air Reference mk1. Air bearing platter and linear air bearing tonearm. Soon a 40 year old mechanical wonder, as good today as when new.
Some 200 units made back in the days by dr. Peter Forsell. They can be found world wide, I have found units in Japan and in the US. The sound? Dynamical, precision, silence and the cartridge is the limiting factor…

Here's my deck. This is the 50th anniversary SL1200 from 2022. It's dark blue.
