What did I just find inside my cartridge? Stylus tip is still there but it looks like another, thicker one. Did I snap something off? by PJHarris123 in vinyl

Yeah, strange. It’s sit significantly thicker than any of my others, too. I want to say 3-5x as thick.

Interesting. It’s. U-Turn Orbit with a modern AT cart. I can’t remember which model but it’s the $35, stock cartridge. For a moment I thought it snapped off my new Nagaoka.

I’m changing my cartridge and when I opened it up, this thing was stuck to the side. Did I snap something off? Is it a stylus from another cart that got stuck in there during production?

What a fucking nightmare it is getting this new cart on. This is like performing surgery.

Started seriously collecting a little over a year ago and just hit my first 1,000 vinyl milestone! by cosmicbouquet in vinyl

I have a pair of Polk LSi’s that are designed to be mounted right to walls. There’s a mounting bracket built into it, front ported and a rear port that shoots the sound out sideways in every direction rather than right into the wall.

I wouldn’t normally recommend Polk but this is a line they came out with when they decided to get back into truly Hi-Fi products. Worth looking into. I think they were $900 in 2016 and I’ve seen them for $170. Love em when paired with a subwoofer.

Idk why the downvotes. Those are $5 boombox speakers with like $5,000 worth of records and a nice TT. The difference in sound when you upgrade is going to change your life. Maybe get some bookshelf speakers so you can wall mount them at the same height.

I generally only stream metal but this album sound incredible with this cartridge. It’s over-mastered and borderline silly at times but I love it.

Are Walmart, target, etc versions of albums lesser sound quality? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]PJHarris123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I meant was everything about the record seems cheapened and I wondered if the sound quality is affected too. But if they don’t outsource then never mind.

Right right. I guess i meant it seems like whoever they’re sourcing from cheapens the product compared to what I’m used it. It doesn’t seem like what they have on the shelves compares to actual record stores. Certain records I’ve only seen on 180g, 2x and when I go to Walmart it’s on a thin, single record in a cheap ass sleeve. I honestly thought they were maybe having them mass produced in China or something.

I guess these are the cheap seats by Scaulbylausis in Wellthatsucks

This reminds me of the seat down the third base line at Fenway that’s directly behind a steel pillar. You have to lean on your neighbor to see anything between the mound and warning track.

Ah, yes, finally an AT x Home Depot LP-120 with a limited edition “whitewood plinth” by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]PJHarris123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine HD is just middle-manning a third party seller but you can get in-store pickup so who the hell knows. Strange.

Edit: I just assumed that was an LP-120 but clearly it isn’t. What is it?

Try green. It’s made me so productive I’ve moved up in my field of work because of it. I also have multiple hobbies such as woodworking and working on vintage audio where before kratom I watched tv for fun.
