I’m thinking of taking a plunge into analog sources by picking up a vintage DD turntable. There seems to be an endless supply of vintage tables available on eBay and CL.
Which models would be good values for under $1000 (total budget for turntable, arm, cartridge. Thanks.
@chakster The Stanton has the
D98S II stylus. I'll enjoy it while it lasts, it seems that a replacement is unobtanium and reviews are mixed for 3rd party stylus options.
The best company to retip Stanton/Pickering is EXPERT STYLUS in UK. You can email them to ask for the price: info@expertstylus.co.uk The stylus profile is Paratrace and the price is very reasonable if you can't find the OG replacement.
noromance, that just shows you're not dedicated enough. I don't know how many times I replaced some of those same recordings for that very same reason. Vinyl attracts pops and ticks like dogs attract fleas; they go with the territory.
