I just want to refer that in the 90´s i still worked as a DJ, and bought the concorde from Ortofon. Already in the 2000´s, i went to buy a substitution needle for the concorde cartridge, i bought it and the diference or quality of sound ,only with a new modern stylus sounded not like the old...

Only a pitty they all are so low quality in sound and built material , very weak. when in the past regarding cartridges and stylus , i used to say like for other components, "when in doubt buy Ortofon" , as i only knew this brand in a 77 B series Revox turntable, tangential(from my father) ...

This is one i´m still using ,very clean sound only mine is the mark X(10) is in a 79 SL-1310 mk II i´m using at the moment , only lost the litle front letters as it were inserted in new stylus casing side grabing lines on the front of the stylus casing, i used to buy susbstitution needles from...

Did it get too hot at 85% of the power?i when younger put a pioneer amplifier at top volume and destroyd a big woofer of a called studio monitor from JBL, but was me not yet a man, at this time had a ofered by a alcoholic man also came from Africa like us family and he had lost all is owned...

Loudness when minimum volume, it´s for what it exists, but less and less seen on good amplifiers or better say control amplifiers and i also found funny(or interesting) you trying to explain about bass sound release , because in a mid 70´s system, the bass when up , the bass heard was like...

i think you have a point there, but the thorens TD160, old was very good but newer versions i didn´t try them , all other brands had good turntables and today i see brands i know releasing ok turntables, so you are right. Some of my friends might have it but never saw any problems with it as...

don´t know why but i feel that it´s the reverse, but there´s a logic in your comment as the better sounding system one has, including the turntable , a simple but faithfull to the sound in the record, cartridge, will sound much better as the system itself provides a better sound, has already...

Starting in the cadenza series it seems the sound of old Ortofon in their cheap MM cartridges, i ended up buying the so many times refered as great , the 2M Black, but was a bit of a let down , as it sounds good but not detailed as others more old , it as more high´s but that depth in sound...

I´m not critising but the P3 and 2m red are not close to what was cheap in the 90´s in terms of quality of reading the records grooves and the building quality, just saying. As an example what in 96/97 used to cost what today is 150€ the full automatic technics turntable but saw also with belt...

i don´t know how it sounds in your room where you have the AT-100´s but never had need for more bass, even with direct sound with a ES amplifier bought in early 90´s ,this with a 74 Pioneer turntable PL-ES with a cartridge that came with it, the PC-30, but in the early 90´s only could find a...

Everything you said but not all are litle i enjoy more and sounds smoother the big speakers have less compacted sound, like big JBL´s, Tannoy´s Altec Lansing , Wharfedale, (what used to be) KEF, Celestion, Pioneer, Kenwood , Rogers, monitor Audio, Technics, my first favorite litle speakers...

music if recorded in mono, mono will be heard already existing stereo versions normally 4-track recordings and if stereo, stereo will be, but hate some re-re-re-remastered albums, normally the first releases sound perfect, sorry for being late

always late , there are lot´s of good artists that have great sounding records mainly with old electronic keyboards, as an example, Moog , Melotron, Juno and electric pianos like yamaha, ampex, etc. lot´s of forgoten gems

Because this last year i heard a lot of 50´s 60´s, 70´s albums, mostly rock in the 70´s and others also mix of Jazz, big bands and afrobeat, Buddy rich big band live is what i heard more this year, i have spotify and this last year they send a resume of what i´ve listened and said there, that my...

Rock is my main style of preference and all it´s variations. Happy new year to all
