Well, things didn't work out as I had originally planned, seems Discount Bandit was unable to fulfill they're promised price, so, I snagged this demo Pro-Ject from Audio Advisor for what I felt was a fair price.

This one came with a Sumiko Blue Point 2, and I had already ordered the Denon 110. I may return it and save the $200 for another cart somewhere down the road. @rednedtugent sent me a nice karma starter package of vinyl, so I'm getting anxious.

What kinda music you like? I'll send you another vinyl starter package. PM me.

FWIW, I don't much care for the sound of the Blue Point 2 -- i.e., I heartily endorse a swap to the DL-110.

Something seems fishy here.I disabled signatures. -
I once borrowed from a hifi colleague a straight-arm Rotel tt with a straight (as opposed to s-shaped) arm equipped with one. I will admit, I used it with a McIntosh C28 preamp, (which is a dismal-sounding piece of hardware), but it was utterly uninspiring. Not as horrible to my ears as an affordable
A-T cartridge, but it was on the unpleasant side of bland to me.
As you know, I like my cartridges to sound sweet, rich & creamy -- maybe even a little Rubenesque.
But, as in all things, de gustibus non est disputandum.

That's better.

All righty.

Is it here, yet?!? Is it here?!?
Way cool on the starter vinyl package....I snagged this demo Pro-Ject from Audio Advisor for what I felt was a fair price.

That my TT and I super happy with it, but since it is a HOMC cart they have you use the MM setting on your Phono amp and you will have to turn the volume up a bit.
I bought a SUT (Step up transformer) for mine and the volume went from 12 o'clock to 9 o'clock and you don't have to use one but I found it helped out nicely.

I missed that.
A real baby? How the heck did that happen?
Bump.I disabled signatures. -
No, not a real baby, the tt baby. It didn't arrive today. FedEx had to reroute it, suppose to be here tomorrow now. I just finished up 5 days off, so, I'm back to working every day again for the near future, so, It may sit a few days before I get it in the system.
