RAPTORMAN Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 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? Sounds like you've been biten by the analog bug. At this point start saving some $$, you'l be needing it to get into the next level. Try to do it slow and enjoy it.
