Your "eureka" analog moment

In the beginning I had a succession of crappy cartridges. Back in the day (1970's) you could buy a turntable and they would "throw in a cartridge " for next to nothing. 

Had ADC, Empires, Stantons, etc. Nothing above $30. Decided to invest big bucks - $65- for a Shure V15 Type 3. Oh my- my records never were so good after that! That was my moment, and then when a friend loaned me Discovered Again (Lab 5 on Sheffield) I was amazed.

Too bad I no longer have the V15 type 3. Over 20 years ago, missing a stylus, I sold it to someone for I think about $30.

Only ONE  "eureka moment? - I've had several...

  • When I first installed a one piece Cardas tonearm harness in my RB250 tonearm.
  • When I installed the Michell Techno-weight
  • When I installed my Acrylic Platter and aluminum sub platter
  • When I installed an Audiomods Series 3 Tonearm - a biggy!
  • When I purchase my Simaudio moon LP5.3 RS phono stage
  • But the clear WINNER - when I installed my Soundsmith modified Denon DL103 Cartridge, and then setting it up using the MINT Best Tractor

Each time I was amazed at the improvements these changes brought to my vinyl listening pleasure.

I've been very fortunate :-)
