Stepped in to the Vinyl World

[pakecc]

Hi all

After so many months of researching, reading and listening to Vinyl lovers words, finally entered in to this wonder world of ( Vinyl) music. Got my Denon DP300F delivered two days back :yahoo:. Was ready to welcome with Few LPs like Bobby, Qurbani, Mera Naam Joker, Aradana and few other hits in Hindi and Tamil. Listening Since then and like the sound. Yet to experience with any other Cartridge which is in plan for near future. Would like to get the opinion of our FMs for an upgrade Cartdridge ( Budget).

Till such time, will keep spinning some more LPs

Welcome to vinyl world.

Many people upgrading to Ortofon 2M Red or 2M Blue. Both are good sounding cartridge and fit in DP-300. But both are sounding like CD's for my ears.

For me, my choice is always vintage cartridges. Old Technics SL-270C, Shure M-75 are sounding as good as or even better than today's 100$ cartridges.

thinking about Shure M97Xe or Sumiko Pearl based on the multiple reviews of both users and magazine.

Check out reviews of Nagaoka MP-110. I bought the MP-200 and it beats the Shure m97xe hands down. Beautiful sounding and really suited to Indian records.

This guy did a detailed check comparison of many cartridges. Worth checking out.

U will spend more money on records now than on food every month,trust me, I'm doing the same haha.

The nagaoka mp110 is unbeatable for the price. What cart are u currently using. I have also only entered the vinyl world a few months back, love it. Would never listen to a cd now. Something about putting on a record is nostalgic!

Have fun!

Nagaoka MP-110 is a beautiful sounding cartridge.

Nagaoka MP-110 vs MP-200
the difference is huge or marginal, more than double cost.

Me to got into Vinyl, and have AT LP-120 running on Shure V15 vintage cartridge. I feel vinyl has depth in music but cannot scale to level of digital when it comes to soundstage and bass rumble + punch.

I enjoy orchestra's more on Vinyl

Now using the stock cartridge as the player got delivered on last Saturday only by global ebay. Will definitely go for an upgrade as almost all reviews says to go for an upgrade over the stock cartridge. Once I used to the sound of stock, will go for the upgrade in a month.

Ah that all depends on your equipment. If I played an identical CD to a record the sound coming off my turntable is superior in detail the than I can achieve off a CD . Like everyone I started off fairly simple and slowly improved my equipment. I always bought good quality even if it was second hand. Most importantly is looking after your vinyl . Keeping it clean. Keeping fingers off. Pays amazing divedends

Welcome to the vinyl world. My 2 cents, Nagoka is very much under rated cart and can be tried. Price is equiv. to the M97xe.

Both are good sounding cartridge and fit in DP-300. But both are sounding like CD's for my ears.

The reason for CD sound, has little to do with the cartridge. It is the pressing of the record. It is rare to come across a record that has been cut from a analog master these days. While records have made a huge come back, most mainstream labels and albums are cut from a digital source. Quite obviously, it is not going to sound as good as how vinyl should.

Among the new breed of records that I purchased, Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters is the only record that I have that was cut from tape as the master source. Even then, it still sounds too clean for vinyl.

It is very important to know the source of the recording when purchasing records.

I am eventually going to get a nagaoka 500 once I get a better turntable. I have been comparing high end carts but nagaoka always seems to come up too in reviews. I know I am loving my 200 (which I got lucky with as I had ordered a 110 but the seller gave me an unbeatable offer on a 200). Once it broke in the sound has been awesome and also some LPs that used to skip no longer have that issue with the 200.
