    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    Thanks for the advice group. I was able to move the SUT and actually ran the ground from the turntable to the phono pre amp and eliminated the hum. So far the Denon AU340 has been very impressive, really happy with it.

    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    I might need to start a new thread but thought I try here first. I picked dup a AU340 and hooked it up. I think I connected it properly? (tonearm>AU-340 input>phono pre input>amp). I'm getting loud humming from the SUT. Any advice? Im hoping the SUT I purchased isn't the issue.

    Just ordered a Denon AU340 from Japan. I'll post here when I get it and have it set up to share my impressions. I appreciate everyones input and I know these things are kind of subjective; what sounds good to one ear may not sound great to another. Given how happy I am now with the DL 103...

    I'm sure you are right. I have heard carts on different systems sound worlds different. I have definitely heard Ortofons on other systems sound fantastic, just not on mine ;(

    I had heard that before when I was looking for a new cartridge a few years ago. The local stereo store had instead recommended the Ortofon 2M red; I was just totally disappointed. No more Ortofon for me. With the PUA-7 arm swapping head-shells is pretty darn easy so I am still hoping to have an...

    Thanks for the feedback group, much appreciated. If the JN-P200 can provide a bit more detail I'll be golden. Easy upgrade and yes I really do like the Nagaoka MP110, best value cartridge I've ever heard.

    Restoring Brass Badges

    I’m restoring a couple Sony ps 2250s and was wondering if anyone had experience with polishing up the brass front badges. I don't want to remove the black paint on the letters/numbers but the metal is a bit discolored. It seems there a lacquer over it? Best way to remove that? Long shot but...
