This is a difficult Item to buy used. You are at the mercy of the seller, unless you can inspect the stylus with a lute or something so as to magnify the stylus enough so you can see if it does any wear. If it looks smooth no chips out from the si...

TT for OL Silver/ Shelter 501
Tom wanted to say get the Teres, silver, and the 501. He is right about the cardinal rules of analog, as he puts it. Save your money and do it right the first time. You will be money ahead and have no regrets. but some dumb ass named Inna told him...

Planning to go analog
TWL ,Tom you have said all there is to say. I would just like to second ALL your comments.The_smokester If your dealer sells SME and you don't mind the price then get that, but if you want the same performance and probably better at a substantial ... 
Why vinyl?
Heres my 2 cents worth 1st pops and clicks, pops are dirt and clicks are scratches you can clean you lp's and get rid of most of the pops. If you have some lp's with some hairline scratches, you could use a low output moving coil Cartridge. 2 that... 
Planning to go analog
TWl has said many times he considers the Teres among the finest turntables made today, at any price. He and I both use Origin live silver arms with shelter 501 cartridges. This combo works well together, and is the best high-end value out there.

Save a vinyl newbie, please
Twl you are going a little overboard on the lp rant, not that what you say is not true. Just that mike is a newbie. TWL you hit the nail on the head with the low frequency problem. This must be the source of your problem. you have a lot of low fre...
