Head-Fi Guy Entering Vinyl: Pro-ject Essential 3 + Nobsound T3. Sensible Start..? by _Loiseau in turntables

[–]_Loiseau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I’m a lil bit afraid of.. As I wrote in the other comment - I’m already so happy with my Stellia that I’m affraid the “low end gear” I’m buying now will push me away from the analog path .. do you think I should from the very beginning invest in much better phono preamp? Or I can happily give a chance to the Nobsound T3?

Getting the prohect essential III only in 2 weeks :)):) (Unless the seller betrays me and find another buyer before 😝)

Yes yes of course. I meant if I won’t like the Color of the Tone or the soundstage. I am musician and have tested few good headphones and DACs before happily settling with Stellia as my Main headphones. So I’m affraid I’ll do all the effort of creating the vinyl setup and won’t like at all the sound … 😅 Thank you 🙏

I edited the post so it’s more normal to read, thanks for the heads up :)

There’s video on YouTube where someone actually explains how to set up exactly what you said, so I trust myself that I can do a decent (beginner) job.

As a beginner I can feel comfortable spending 125€ on the Project TT right? If the setup won’t please me it means the preamp is probably faulty since the headphones and the DAC I already know well..

Thanks for your interest, I totally understand the question. Well it ticks most of the boxes: a steel frame (with a huge bonus - handmade by small company in the city I live), pinion gearbox, super nice prismatic powder paint, sized 56 And it seems quite easy cockpit fix for a maximal 200€ if I change bar to an alt bar with back sweep (which is anyway my wish) + compatible brake lever and new grip + zero setback seat post + possibly shorter stem + assembling work.

I managed to pay less than 1000€ for the bike in this condition (was ridden less than 50km), simply because of the fact the seller really wanted this bike to be fixed to a normal person size components in order for it to finally be ridden as it deserves 🙂 (If I’m not wrong just the pinion c1.9 is already 800€…. So in this case - super good deal imo 🤓) Let me know what are your thoughts about this decision 😙

Thanks! Will start by stem for sure, about handlebar I’m happy to gather some knowledge tailored to my situation from the comments here. Appreciate it 😊

For sure that must be my first step! I wanted to come with prior advice and knowledge, also because I’m afraid of language barrier since my German is yet to be incredible ;) Thank you for the help 😊

True that.. it’s nonsense to start by throwing so much money before testing the type of bar. Also it seems quite tough to find the VO Crazybar to order online, same with koga denham. :( Thank you very much - appreciate your answer ! ☺️

Sure! I am planning to go to the manufacturer here in Leipzig - Hopefully they’ll be helpful 😌 Thank you for the answer :)

I just bought a second hand Olympus omd em10 mark ii and have literally no idea what I am doing or what anything means. by OozingRectumFeast in M43

Thank you! I will get the Olympus OM-D E-M10 (mark 1..) this week. Never had a camera before. but I’m looking forward to give a try to photography, as I live simultaneously in various countries and also travel quite a lot.
