    Hello,

    I am not very talkative (quite obvious, as the quest for [hifi] sound is rooted in solitude, sound being a _private_ space), but happy to join this platform.

    hello and welcome 

    hope you enjoy getting involved here

    I am from Slovakia and i am interesting about hifi and high-end stuff like amplifiers, turntables, cd players, loudspeakers, etc...It is my hobby from my teen age, perhaps with some time interruption. Currently im in nice hifi technic from 90´ - from Sony, Pioneer. I have got nice gold Sony TA-FA50ES amplifier and Pioneer PD-S06 also gold CD player.

    Hello n welcome Erik

  3. Continuing with the recent trend where a bunch of random audio tech is grouped into a must have or must try or top gift list by authors (probably using AI) with at most a casual glancing interest in music playback. Similar to the ol' "top 5 blar-blar for 2023" story/ad where every item just happens to be 1 click away via Amazon.  

     

    Here we are introduced to the "audiophile enthusiast". Reminds me of my brother the keen surfer. Never been surfing but is none the less keen to give it a go...

    Thoughts?

    I like how SQ or the listening experience has almost nothing to do with being on the list

     

    Any other examples?

  4. i have a similar vintage AT cart with the same black diamond ATN 12EX

    this is good value

    this was a top combo back in the day and easily still holds it's own today. it's only outperformed by Shibata stylus option that you could consider at replacement/upgrade time. 

     

    my understanding is BD stylus is a square nude elliptical, not all but it was common that the original AT ATN12EX was not always the superior squared stone

    Hi all, I’ve long been interested in vintage hifi equipment, but mostly on a fairly naive and superficial level. I’m hoping to learn more from this forum about the variety and options available for components, on a quest to reproduce music in greater detail and delight in the discovery of what music “can” sound like with the right equipment and environment.  

    hi Dylan and welcome 

    I hope you enjoy getting involved here

  6. get that TT up on to it's own solo unit, bit of thought and blend it into the greenery

     

    (apologies if you've done or plan to do any of these already)

    clean the cartridge stylus (there's various approaches)

    check/re-do the carts alignment if you know how (some good tutorials on YT) 

    clean the record - spray and/or carbon brush

    as already suggested consider new separate phono followed by a new cart / stylus

    Giddy, so excited to be part of this community. Am obsessed with 60s 70s and 80s music. Had my very significant collection stolen decades ago and am still trying to recover it..

    lp by lp. This feels like a great forum for pursuing that.

    Hello n welcome 

    Hope u enjoy getting involved
