Davo_03 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi all. Finally jumped into the turntable rabbit hole, after nearly 10 years of looking from the outside. Picked up a pretty good deal deal on a “Pro-Ject Debut carbon esprit sb” (they know how to keep names short n sweet don’t they?) and a tube box S2. Seems to be a a wealth of knowledge around here. Not sure if that’ll slow my decent down the rabbit hole, or cause free-fall. Either way, hi from the eyre peninsula. Pete. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding - welcome and enjoy the SNA from a fellow south aussie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo_03 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks all. First step of free fall, my stupid ass kept using the stylus guard on my 2m red, n killed the cantilever. Soo tossing up between a blue stylus. Or one of a myriad of 2nd hand carts I keep finding (Ort vms, nag mp-110, at130, sig tk5) gah. I fear freefall may be Impending.

Batty Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 You could try a Garrott K2 or K3. Oh, welcome aboard, always good to see more SA members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo_03 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yea I did see a k2 for a pretty good price too. Calculators put resonance a tad high (15hz ish) and I wasn’t sure on vta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesbee Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Certainly a wealth of opinions, as well as a fair bit of knowledge, just as long as you fall down the right hole! Welcome aboard Davo, from yet another SA member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo_03 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Cheers again all. Most of my gear is off limits for upgrades I’m thinkin, so may as well play with cart/stylus for now will be it. On on top of previously mentioned gear is, an older denon avr1909 amp, and a pair of VAF research DCx’s (mk3 I believe) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
