    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.

    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    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...

    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    Hoping you are still on this message board. As it turned out I did get the Denon DL 103 and I absolutely love it! As mentioned it works perfectly with the PUA-7. The improvement in sound is far beyond what I had expected. The only issue is that I am using a first gen Schiit Mani phono preamp. It...

    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    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 ;(

    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    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...

    Help Me Pick a Cartridge

    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...

    Mystery Teac Turntable

    Yes! It looked a lot like that a bit different but very similar. The feet came to more of a bullet shape at the top but this is very close.

    Mystery Teac Turntable

    I’m not familiar with that term (skeletal) but it describes it well. It definitely had the Teac badge on it. He and I discussed it being an old Teac table and he had a Teac reel to reel of presumably similar vintage.

    Mystery Teac Turntable

    The shock mounts are exactly why it was so unusual. It looks nothing like the TB-400. Honesty it looked a little bit like the Schiit Sol but with three feet instead of four

    Mystery Teac Turntable

    I was looking at Sony turntable for sale locally from an older guy who had several great vintage pieces. While there he showed me his vintage Teac turntable which looked pretty amazing. I’ve never seen this model before. It was all metal (no wood) and the design reminded me a lot of a few more...

    Sony PS 2250 Tonearm Questions

    This is the turntable that came attached to the PUA-114 that I was looking for. So I guess I’m restoring two of them now. This one is more a question of neglect. The plater and motor appear to hold speed, spins forever. The tone arm is complete! The lifter needs to have the hydraulic fluid...
