Re: Newbie turntable help needed

By the way, because there's devotees of Shure cartridges and the M97xE is discontinued, I have no doubt you could get at least $50 for it on E-bay as is.

Re: Newbie turntable help needed

Glad you dig it, and it will actually get better as it breaks in. Listen to lots of records.

The list price of that Shure, when it was still manufactured, was $79.99 (they go for a lot more now,...

Re: Newbie turntable help needed

Yup, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Then you're halfway there already! Alignment isn't difficult in concept, but can be annoying trying to get it right. Get a mirrored alignment tool, don't pay more than like $10 for it. There's about...

Re: Newbie turntable help needed

Re: Newbie turntable help needed

I really dig it, and it's a very popular cart. A lot of the Technics "retro" turntables now come with the 2M Red standard. Of course, I don't have every cart in that price range to do an A-B (C-D...)...

Re: Newbie turntable help needed
