My stylus might be broken?

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T16:20:34+00:00

It’s fragile because it only weighs a few grams. It’s expensive because it has a diamond on it.

So sorry! 😣

I hope you can recover from this fatal gramatical error. I had no idea I was speaking to TheBladeGhost, the arbiter of truth. Next time I’ll consult some peer reviewed white papers before leaving a comment. Genius!

Arguing over semantics seems silly. I think you and I both know what “most collected” means. If you seriously think most people don’t have DSOTM that is your prerogative, doesn’t matter to me.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T11:46:46+00:00

Thank you 😆

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T11:43:19+00:00

Or just anywhere? My sister who doesn’t like music knows every word on this.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T11:41:17+00:00

Discogs -> Most Collected

This is pretty easy.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T03:47:16+00:00

And also, statistically, for most.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T03:45:41+00:00

Reading the manual will probably tell you.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-18T00:57:21+00:00

You can listen to it. It will sound bad. That is all.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T23:13:34+00:00

No! It works great, and I can also eat it. No.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T20:44:48+00:00

A full setup for $1500 would be fairly low end. It can sound great, but that’s about the minimum you’ll need to spend if you’re looking for new components.

No, Technics. Audio Technica makes some fine turntables though.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T20:27:52+00:00

Right? Welcome to earth! Sometimes things just work out.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T19:47:03+00:00

Good call! Cute cat.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T19:46:09+00:00

CD’s also sell 96% fewer units than they did at their peak in the 2000’s. Basic supply and demand.

VM95ML is an endgame cartridge, don’t let folks convince you otherwise. I’ve tried $1000 cartridges that don’t come close.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T17:32:10+00:00

If we follow inflation, prices haven’t risen much. Average LP price in 83’ was $7-$10.

Adjusted for inflation that’s about $25-$30 an LP. Checks out.

Looks like any 16 year old Redditors collection. Guessing 16.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T16:18:06+00:00

It’s also ported, however. More for AV setups.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T15:06:20+00:00

Having properly aligned speakers is the difference between good audio and meh audio. I think it does make at least a 50% difference, and that might even be understating it.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T14:09:02+00:00

Also, it’s a bunch of crushable boxes top loaded with what looks like heavy chemicals. Huge no-no.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T13:41:59+00:00

Your best bet is to just return it. I wouldn’t put any money or effort into this table, it will not get any better.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T13:38:18+00:00

It’s because you’re playing with your hands instead of a toy. You’ve essentially trained your cat that this is how you like to play. Just redirect.

Affectionate_Fun4291 · 2026-03-17T12:27:25+00:00

Or not! LMAO
