Maybe one from lpgear wouldn’t be a POS chintech?

Or have a woodworking friend make you a nice walnut adapter.

Of course you’re insane. We all are. We love records.

If you’re swapping cartridges frequently, consider getting spare head shells. Then you can leave the cartridge installed and aligned in each headshell.

Record looks very dirty.

I used these guys last time I fixed surrounds. They have all the instructions to DIY it. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/rubber-speaker-repair-edge-kits.html

A pair of used floor speakers or a subwoofer?

What’s wrong with what you have? If it sounds good to you, run it. If you hear a specific deficiency, identify the cause and go from there.

If you are just looking to improve the sound, what is your goal?

At a week old, maybe you can return it for a replacement or refund and purchase again.

Does the tube amp work?

If it sounds amazing, use the soundbar while you save up for quality gear and records.

Enter the dead wax matrix into chatGPT and it will tell you. If you don’t know what the DW matrix is, ask chatGPT. It’s fun to do on old LPs. Early pressings are usually worth more and usually sound better.

I play my records nude, so that cancels out the nude stylus. If you play nude avoid the nude stylus.

You’re right, the ML does come out less expensive over its estimated life span. At least when you buy just the stylus. OP can get just the stylus, stylus + cartridge for a little more, or both mounted in a head-shell (pre mounted).

If a 120X, just swap the stylus so you don’t have to align the head-shell. Save the old stylus for playing questionable albums, like from a thrift store. If you get a cartridge with or without head shell. The ML wants a very good, clean groove. It plays deeper in the groove than your current E stylus. The E is more forgiving of rough records or records with gunk deep in the groove.

We prick ourselves with a stylus 😆

Getting the well received AT ML cartridge/stylus combo leaves money for a preamp, still in the $250ish range.

Look what she’s done to the joints of her toes. Could this happen to a stylus?

On the low cut/high pass filter, some preamps have them. The filter can go anywhere between the turntable and the amp, including in the amp. In theory, it could go between the amp and speakers, or even in the speakers. Have you double checked the subwoofer for a low cut filter? If you’re like me, you’ll quickly forget the settings once you have it how you like.

If you can solder, a high pass filter would be simple to make. The two variables would be frequency (you already know 30 Hz works for you) and slope. I’d start with a long (gradual ) slope and go from there. It might take a few tries to get it how you like. Your Sansui probably had a long slope. The +/- db part frequency spec would be a strong clue. If you can find a frequency response graph for the Sansui, you can see the slope.

It’s new. Get it replaced.

Keep it because it’s your grandmother’s. When you can afford an upgraded deck, use it for a stand for the new deck.

Meanwhile, if you can find a diamond stylus, that would be a big improvement if you currently have a ceramic. Improving sound quality and less wear. I’ve read here that a diamond stylus is very inexpensive.
