Title: Quick question: Which needledrop do you prefer?
Post by: wnmnkh on September 11, 2015, 05:11:45 AM

Can't really add poll for some reason, but here are two files. Both are from same vinyl with different setup.
First one obviously has a background noise problem, but other than that which sound do you prefer?

Both turntables are entry-level and uber-cheapo one.

First one is Sony PS-LX250H (100 bucks) and second one is U-Turn Orbit with acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Red, which cost me about 300 bucks. The tonearm of U-Turn actually does not support the weight of 2M Red without adding some coins on the counterweight of the arm. A phono preamp is Schiit Mani.

Edit : the ADC is our favorite Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.

But, I think the sound... it's more of record itself I think. I am listening to these Vinyls to see if there is something better...
