    Turntable build

    So in my quest of audio nirvana from from a record lathe, I came up with this design.
    I have only run it with my test cartridge which is an Ortofon Blue and it sounds very nice.
    Have yet to build the motor housing and controller for the BLDC motor, it sounded great even with the VPI motor.
    It has a custom made bearing and platter Audiomods arm and, will end up with a ZYX 4D cartridge.

                  Turntable Choices
                  by rdram
                  Hey all,

                  In January 2013, I bought a Pro-ject Debut III to see if I wanted to get back into vinyl. The answer was yes, and it's time to upgrade. Couple things with the Debut III...has an 11" platter and a $50 cartridge. I think I might be missing something. My three options for an...

                  Looking for new cartridge + stylus - Help appreciated
                  by kiko
                  Hi everyone

                  I am shopping for a new cartridge + stylus for my turntable, or so I think. I currently own an entry-level Stanton T50x turntable bought 5 years ago when I wasn't too sure going back to vinyl would be as exciting and feasible as it is now. I run that Stanton through a Yamaha...

                  by drsiebling
                  Hey Everyone!

                  I'm about to pull the trigger on a "new" turntable and was hoping you guys might help me narrow-down my choices.

                  I'm trying to decide between the following:

                  Linn Axis - Basik Plus Tonearm, K5 Cartridge
                  Sota Comet w/ aluminum...

                  Best Turntable Cartridge for $400-$700?
                  by Russ L
                  Yes I've done it. Despite my ravings about my Cambridge Audio 840C CD player sounding so analog :blah: I've just purchased a Clearaudio Emotion Turntable with a Moon LP 3 Phono stage. Well its just plain fun isn't it! And I had an empty top shelf on my audio rack to fill... looks great. Was wondering...

                  Turntable recommendation
                  by SteveT
                  As a possible upgrade consideration, I was thinking of also upgrading my turntable. I'd like to get one that will perform to my needs. My thing is that I like to play my music at loud levels with decent base response, and my turntable now receives feedback and starts to hum. This even happens if...
