 Could be wrong here, but the cartridge (the thing at the end of the tonearm where the needle goes on) looks like the venerable Audio Technica AT95E-commonly included on turntables that cost upwards of $500. Great sounding cartridge, and it’s the cartridge and stylus that actually determine how good a turntable sounds.

That’s a GREAT starter turntable (hell, that’s a great turntable overall). A friend has one just like it, and it runs like a top.

Great sounding cartridge, and it’s the cartridge and stylus that actually determine how good a turntable sounds

Been wanting to get into vinyl for awhile, found this at goodwill for $15. Did I do good? Would also love some advice on what to do next as I am a complete noob.

 Sadly, it sounds awful compared to the AT85EP. It's very quiet, sounds tinny, and just doesn't offer the dynamic range that the AT85EP does. I had friends listen to it to ensure that I wasn't crazy, and the results were unanimous.  Do yourself a favor and try the AT85EP, and don't forget the AT-PMA1 1/2" mount adapter (not needed if you already have a P-Mount head shell)

Great sound is not entirely subjective

Apparently, this is an updated version of Audio Technica's consumer workhorse cartridge. The updated version of the AT-95 now requires slightly greater tracking force (2 grams of nominal tracking force as opposed to 1.75 grams).  Compared to the older version that came with a Thorens TD-235 that I purchased 4 years ago, the current version sounds more dynamic

 In fact, the current AT-95 sounds great; nothing seems to be added nor taken away. The earlier AT-95 sounds somewhat laid back and slightly muffled in comparison. The price is also slightly lower than the original $50 so this is really good news. Its tracking of inner grooves is also good

A Cartridge That Outperforms Its Predecessor

 I have this issue with both new & old records of varying weights. It must be related to the weight, or lack thereof, of the tonearm on the Stir it Up.  That said, the original cartridge on the Stir it Up tt does/did a fine job. I mainly purchased this because I wanted to "upgrade

Excellent value for the money

 At95e is bright compared to AM30s, and my ears tell me that the AM30s has a wider frequency response. Play the same record with both with my eyes blind, I'll tell you which cart is which. Which one I like? I like them both, but I'd rather listen to classics with the Signet. Rock tends to like the AT

 This is when I start comparing it to AM30s, which is an above average cart. My Signet had a replacement needle from lpgear (a good one, I'd say) as reference. At95e is bright compared to AM30s, and my ears tell me that the AM30s has a wider frequency response. Play the same record with both with my eyes blind, I'll tell you which cart is which

I'll compare it to my Signet AM30s, so you have a relative idea. But first, just at face value, the sound quality exceeds what I had expected at this price range. I'm not the only one with this opinion, but simply repeating my experience and confirming others who had similar experiences. OTOH, don't expect a "wow" factor, I definitely did not say "oh, wow, that is awesome!"

Great price/performance ratio, a bit bright

Is this Turntable Cartridge a Worthy Successor to the Budget Throne? (#AT95E #VM95E)

 What would become the 1895e first appeared on turntables in the late 1980s?

 And it's been the bar against which other budget cartridges have been compared ever since.

 Audio-Technica calls it the finest entry-level phono cartridge ever produced.

 But after 30 years, they have revealed its successor, the VM95e.

 There are some striking physical differences here.

 The front end has been nicely modernized, and there are now threaded holes, which are

 But underneath all of the plastic, the metal body is still the same.

 The two stalei are somewhat interchangeable, except for plastic getting in the way of a

 However, the internals in the metal body have changed, and the evidence lies in the spec sheets.

 The VM95 is still ringing in at $49, the same price as the outgoing 1895e.

 But a cartridge must be measured by sound, and not its specs.

 So we will hold a blind listening test to find out if the 1895e has truly been bested.

 If you choose the same cartridge each time, we have a clear winner.

 If you don't choose the same cartridge each time, then it's fair to say that they are

r/BudgetAudiophile

My budget is around 700$. I looked up some turntables and chose 2 that were looking the best for this price - Rega Planar 2 and Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO (with Ortofon 2M Red - I live in Europe). Rega Planar 2 seems to be better, since it has a glass platter and a better tonearm. The cartridge seems to be worse, tho

Hey guys, am looking for some recommendations for desktop speakers

  
There are tons of posts and questions for budget speakers but I'm looking at something more "mid"-fi  
Unfortunately the big speaker reviewers almost never touch on nearfield/desktop hifi  
I am open to both passives and actives  
My current set up for my desktop is: PC > Nuforce DDA-100 > EPOS M5s (hand me down from my dad)  
The M5s are great but they do lack quite a bit of low end, might be due to the nuforce being very neutral as well  
.  
My budget is pretty flexible and im kind of lurking around till november to hopefully catch a pair of KEFs at a good price  
But for simplicity's sake lets say my budget can stretch up to maybe USD 1500 but 1500 is a real stretch.  
While i have the available budget, I would still rather get something more "bang for buck" hence "mid-fi"  
.  
After much research I'm kind of at a loss, but i have a list of speakers that I should be able to audition here in Singapore  
These are in no order of preference at the moment  
  
1. Audioengine HD or A5 series  
2. Focal Shape 40  
USD 1265 NEW vs USD 1041 USED  
4.  Triangle BOREA BR03/BR02  
Used BR03 and NEW BR02 both around USD 380  
5. Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition  
USD 818 NEW  
6. KEF Q-150 or LS50 metas (with much savings)  
KEF Q150 NEW for USD 700  
LS50 meta NEW for USD 1635  
7. Adam A5x  
USD 818 Used  
8. Tannoy Gold 5 Powered  
USD 450  
9. Genelec 8010A  
2 months old for USD 730  
10. Amphion Argon 1   
USD 1636   
  
Am very open to other speakers that i may have missed out  
It is more for casual music listening with gaming on the side while i work at my desk  
  
Thanks in advance

Hi! Looking for a pair of speakers for a kitchen that will be good for house parties. We're in the UK and have a budget of around £400. We were recommended the Sonos One SL but I'm honestly a bit skeptical about smart speakers. 


We're just looking for something with good sound that we can stream music through using USB/Aux/Bluetooth. We are planning on placing the speakers in opposite corners of the room on top of high cabinets so that they're out of the way/sound can fill the room. Any suggestions welcome? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I have been looking to get a preamp streamer for my powered speakers (JBL LSR 305 mk1). So far I've looked into the Yamaha WXC-50 and the Bluesound NODE 2i which are both similarly priced.

The thing is I have read a lot of mixed reviews on them. There are some people absolutely loving them and others hating that the apps are absolutely trash and the sound quality is nothing impressive.

I also came across the Cambridge cxn v2 which seems to be a much better option but that also way out of my price range sadly.

So, to the point. Any recommendations you guy could give me about the Yamaha WXC-50 and the Bluesound NODE 2i? Is there another similarly priced option I havent looked into and that could maybe give me a better result?

Thanks everyone in advance.
