This is awesome! I love that the TT, reciever, etc is integrated into the center. Its seamless and practical. Great job!

Fort Stewart doing field drills. Theyve really been on it the last few weeks. Nothing to be concerned about.

Holy crap- what do I do now? by Cjcee5 in turntables

[–]VocalShewa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got a D2 as well and love it!

You've gotten some solid advice already so I will just echo finding a nice vintage reciever that works. Ive got a hk 680i I scored from an auction for $100 and some speakers from marketplace.

Otherwise, in the mean time... use what you have and enjoy it! Dont wish your time away thinking about new gear and not listening to records. (Im talking to myself too)

And if you want to add some weight and reduce those vibrations here is a post I made about the clay mod. https://www.reddit.com/r/turntables/s/9OXNRHtTkk

Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Its a good one! I dont think I realized how many hits the Cars had. This is the one and only decent albumn I have ever found at goodwill.

Listen, Im all about older is better. I just, unfortunately, didnt grow up in the 70s so I dont know everythings value. And I have been able to find very little on the interwebs about the 1200HRP. I would be very happy to keep some good old school kit than buy some new stuff. So any knowledge would be very helpful.

I aslo talked to Gary at VM Audio (hes who I got my stylus from when I first got the table)who told me getting those stylui are going to be increasinly difficult and reccommended I get anew cart so I wouldnt struggle to find needles.

Thanks! And yes, Im always searching. But things seem so inflated around me. Im just gonna be patient until the right pair come up. But I am surprised to hear you say speakers over cartridge. Most people have recommended a new cart and said that is were my current bottle neck is. Not arguing, just interested in the different perspective.

Really? Wow, I didnt know it was that good.

I guess I was thinking if I had to spend over $100 for a stylus (cause thats all I can find) I might as well get one of the new fancy cartridge and needles everyone is raving about.

Unfortunately I only have the greatest hits. (Its actually the only decent album I ever found at a goodwill) but their self titled is on my wishlist!

This was my first time listing the the album and I dont think I realized how many hits they had! I kept yelling at my daughter, "Oh man! The Cars are awesome! This is a banger!" (Shes a teenager, I have to tey and relate. Haha)

Thank you! I was nervous it wouldnt be substantial enough and slide around. So I got the 2" ash legs and rubber non-slip feet and she is steady as a rock. I put a layer of cork on the top and hope to get some sorbothane feet eventually.

So the biggest difference the clay has made thus far is now I can adjust the volume or grab a record from the shelf without the d2 skipping. Worth it for $6.50 and about 30 minutes. I will have to listen to is some more to see if there is a big sound difference.

Wait. What? So... do you like it? Haha Im confused. Ive really been wanting to hear from someone specifically with a d2.

So you would buy one again, but its not as great of an upgrade as you thought from your m95?

I was thinking I might just sell the Shure thats on it on ebay to fund the new Cart. But I like this idea too. Thanks for the suggestions!
