What's your current turntable + cartridge setup?

3 years ago by sparky@lemmy.pt to c/vinyl

Using a Fluance rt85 plus an Ortofon 2M blue personally. Great, full sound with especially vibrant mids and treble!

Nothing too fancy, but enough for my music-loving-but-definitely-not-audiophile-ears:

  • Living room: Rega RP1 with a simple AT-VMN95E
  • Office: Audio Technica AT-LP5X with AT-VM95ML

I do 99% of my listening in my office, where I work (and my collection lives πŸ˜…)

I originally went with the AT LP60XBT when I started buying records a few months ago but replaced it pretty quickly with a Fluance RT82 (using the default Ortofon cartridge) and a ART DJPREII preamp (though as a long time user of Schiit Audio equipment, I'm thinking about picking up a Mani at some point). The AT sounded fine, but I like to tinker, and the idea of a non-replaceable cartridge started to eat at me a bit.

My office setup is pretty simple, I use a Pro-Ject Carbon Debut Esprit with the stock Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. I would love a Rega turntable for the living room, though!

I've got a U-Turn Orbit with the Ortofon 2M Red on it, been really liking it so far

Sounds like a problem that will create itself with time 😜

I got my first turntable earlier this year. A Dual 1019 with Shure M44g and I couldn't be happier.

Denon DP 65f with an OC9xml and a Denon DP 45f with an AT33PTGII. I just bought Denon 59l and set it up with a VM740ml. They're all great, but my favorite is the 65f.
