Hey Guys,
I've been listening to a lot of vinyl on the Technics SL-D205 and I'm
loving the sound. However I have no idea how this table compares
to anything. I'm also using an old Marantz JR640 receiver
with phono input and some ok sounding speakers.
Would it be worth my time to replace the cartridge and stylus? On
some of the new vinyl I've purchased I hardly have any noise (cracking
etc).
I need to get my hands on Discwash like BIg Piney said but my local
music store wants $30 for it when it retails for $20. However
amazon does have it for $9.
My Outlaw 990 does have a phono input with ground...I'm gonna see how this sounds when I get back to my place on Monday.
I was also looking into a Tube phono preamp. Would I still get a
tube sound when it goes thru the 990? The Bellari VP129 looks
like a good value and has some great reviews. But it says its
made for magnetic pickups? I'm a little lost what that is...can
anyone shine some light on this for me?
Lastly when the stylus is on the record should I be able to hear the
music that the stylus is making from touching the record or is that a
sign of a cheap turntable?
