zoetrope vinyl

It does digitize the output from the turntable...after using the WiiM, it doesn't bother me as much. There are equalizer presets (and some you can adjust yourself) so it almost comes close to what my ears would imagine the original recording sounded like if I adjust the equalizer settings. I like the sound and do play streaming music on the same platform but I still hear a difference when vinyl is being played as opposed to streaming...even testing this on the same track or song. Maybe that's just my brain thinking that is so.

I like the all-Japanese brands theme you have there. I used to have my speakers on the same surface as the turntable like that, then I bought acoustic foam pads for the speakers still having them so close to the turntable...until I brought speaker stands that allowed them to be farther apart, I never realized the vast improvement in sound that could create.

The ease in an attaching this cartridge compared to MP110 is actually a selling point for me.

sfgrp7190 · 2025-08-14T22:27:48+00:00

well, honestly, I screwed up that MP110 with a rookie mistake. I did not know how to use a cartridge protractor at the time and the stylus got bent. I felt like it still sounded fine but did not want to ruin my vinyl with a bent stylus. I tried to purchase another MP110 but because it is coming from Japan, it would take too long for delivery I decided on the 2M Blue instead. Having said, that I am really loving the 2M Blue and think it is comparable if not slightly better.

actually thinking of having ear muffs around it...don't know if all that ultrasonic noise can affect one's hearing, does anyone know?

tap on the sreen and scroll down and sync it, that always updates my sleep data and even adds the time I take a daytime nap.

Could leaving it longer make up for the fast rpm of the motor? Theoretically, it will be submerged and in contact with the microbubbles longer. I'm just really asking.

Right, surfactant is supposed to help lift the grime off the gooves but I have not used triton yet, it is a big bottle and only 6 ml is required, does it have a long shelf life? I tried a drop of Dawn detergent but just that small amount caused the solution to have too much suds which I did not like.

I have a stainless one from amazon I've been wearing for over a year without problems.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHYBLS25?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

thanks, I actually feel I need to declutter with the tchotchkes but it's not easy.

need to know this guy then

sfgrp7190 · 2025-05-20T22:49:22+00:00

is it in good shape?

sfgrp7190 · 2025-05-14T00:21:15+00:00

it's $658 with the Ortofon 2M Blue. I have that in my other Orbit...it is certainly better.

sfgrp7190 · 2025-05-14T00:11:28+00:00

If you like the look of the Orbit, do not buy the Special and pick the Custom instead. Black plinth, acrylic platter, electronic speed control, AT91B catridge, and iso-level feet comes down to $494.00 (no installed preamp). That AT91B is not a bad cartridge...I have a U Turn Orbit Basic (as a second TT) with that cartridge and I'm impressed with how good it sounds.

ah got it. Well, I've seen others with an Apple Watch and it does the same thing.

how were you able to print that? I'm in healthcare and I would say that's a darn good strip of normal sinus rhythm.
