Frustrated with Vinly
@jay73 great news on discovery of Audio Element in Pasadena, fantastic store run by Brooks Berdan son - legendary vinly! Fanatic. also the audio club sounds great - IF you get down south Carlsbad way you are also welcome to stop by for a listen, bring some of your records and we can clean them on my $75 Nitty Gritty ( bought used ) enjoy the music!!!! |
Sometimes, when cost is a issue, looks are IMO far down the list of considerations. BTW, one of my MyMat customers (who is a repeat customer) has that Technics tt. He’s now enjoying two MyMats as a sandwich, with a KAB poly mat in the middle. I told him to throw away the stock rubber mat. On of the best MAT for Technics and almost any other turntable is SAEC SS-300 from the 70s/80s. The absolute best one in my opinion is gunmetal Micro Seiki CU-180 with ST-10 disc stabilizer, but this combo is very expensive and rare. Yet another great modern MAT is ($250) 47 Labs THE MAT from Sakura Systems which is the latest version of the Boston Audio Mat, so many reviews online. This is an image of perfect cartridge for Technics tonearms (Grace LEVEL II Ruby) on The Mat, i really like the surface of The Mat. It’s Graphite. |
