Question for the #vinyl community: A friend (seriously ๐Ÿ˜‡) is looking for a #turntable that costs under 600 euros and can be integrated into a Sonos sound system. Heโ€™s mentioned Pro-Ject and Sonoro. Do you have any real-world experience youโ€™d like to share?

Some turntables are built to impress. Others are built to be lived with.

I spent time with the Pioneer PL-12D, a vintage table that trades precision for feel. Not perfect, but easy to stay with once itโ€™s set up right.

This one is probably my favourite, and I'm surprised it hasn't got more traction. Three separate sequences on geared platters driven by the main turntable. Drums, chords, bassline. Ratios 1:2 and 3:4
The chord sequence changes slightly by the end of the video as one of the plastic arc segments slips out of position a bit.

Turntable sequencer: geared patterns driven from the turntable

Waited weeks to get the subplatter I ordered for my Pro-Ject #turntable, and this is what I got: no spindle (not even drilled out in the center), and not machined properly (no ridge for the platter to sit on, surface is anything but smooth). "Diamond-cut aluminum", my ass! There is no excuse for this. Purchased on Amazon from Audio Advisor, Inc.

I can't believe I'm seeing an imminent delivery date from Amazon on the "diamond-cut aluminum" subplatter upgrade for my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo #turntable. They're practically unobtainium!

Wie kann das denn sein? Ich hab den Plattenspieler noch gar nicht so lange! Und ich hab ja auch nur ab und zu mal eine Scheibe gekauft! Mein lieber Scholli..

A review of the Fosi Audio Box X4 Phono Preamp:
This is a compact, affordable valve preamp that delivers warmer, clearer vinyl sound instantly.

I got one not too long ago and I got back to listening to my old bootlegs.
This really improves the sound quality.

I recommend this preamp especially for vinyl listeners.

Stylus upgrade from Carbon MM to Carbon Pro MM on the Rega P2. This was quick and easy to do, no tools, no wiring, no alignment change and no tracking weight change. Immediate improvement in the sound for very little cost so happy with this.
