I use it when doing other things around the house. Got so used to it, I had to fit a Q-up to my main table. 7 minutes ago, davidSun said: The headshell is rare. I recently needed one, and found there are generic replacements you can get. The one in my photo is one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Pro-ject RPM 9.2SE sitting on Pearl 2 phono pre and feeding a DIY built headphone amp (wanna be pre-amp). Sub-optimal but simple and effective. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG David that is such an indictment on your record playing system! I will occasionally drift off listening to CD, even on my pretty spectacular CD player. But, soft or loud, rock, classical, jazz or folk - once an LP record goes on, I'm riveted to the music. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidSun Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If the music is good and relaxing, and after long day, there’s a good chance you will nod off. Now you don’t want your 6 thousand dollar stylus stuck at the end of the record while you are in slumber! That’s why it’s good to have the auto lift.

Warren M. Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Actually David, you could run your $6000 stylus on the almost unmodulated inner track of a record for thousands of hours and not damage it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably be sometime next year, when a family member travels to Japan and Singapore. There should be some better prices over there than locally.

Very nice setup you have there Greg. The speakers must sound awesome with all them complimenting hardware and that solidsteel rack. The CFM cables would be among the best cables in my opinion, presenting a very balanced sound and the micro detail in the soundstage is unparalleled. I know, I have a whole set like yours.
