    Rank The Studio Albums

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    You ranked AM twice. We're getting to a large # of records with a huge range of possible rankings. I think it's expressed mathematically as 10! But I forgot how to solve for '!'.

    Oops. The lower AM should have been WTA

    There is some controversy regarding that version (the one where he is sitting on the floor). A while back someone on this forum posted this attempt at it. I don't really like how it sounds (muddy), but YMMV.

    Looking for a decent turntable

    So you use an additional pre-amp, even though the unit has one? Did you remove the installed one?

    No, I did not remove the installed one. There is a selector switch for the on board one. Although,  I have seen stuff online where people have physically removed it for true bypass. I have not done that.

    I'm in the market for a new turntable.

    I have had an Audio-Technica AT-PL50 for ten years. It's been serviceable, but it's always played everything a bit too fast, even 180g discs. I guess the belt is to thank for that. And the sound has always been a little muted.

    So finally I've saved enough to go for a better quality item this Christmas.

    Almost all of this thread's links are dead, but the Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct-Drive Professional Turntable seems to be the best buy, and it's still available.

    Any arguments against this one (poor performance? quirks?), or in favor of another product that's come up in the past four years?

    The Wirecutter likes it too: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-turntable/ so I guess my decision is pretty much made.

    But I'm just wondering. Thanks.

    BTW I use an old Sony Dream System DVD/receiver/speaker w/surround deal that's not the best, but it works.

    I have the LP-120 and am very happy with it after upgrading from my bottom of the barrel Sony. No issues or problems and a lot of bang for the buck. I would recommend a good preamp (if you don't have one already). I suggest  the TC-750 (the model that I am using).
