You will be fine but just make sure the atoms and cable alignment are in the correct direction. 🤪

10 years and you lot are still debating this?

Here's my suggestion. And you may also want to order the Peter Walker recommended speaker cable as well. 🤣 https://www.clean-smart.co.uk/store/25ft-orange-power-cable-uk-1-5mm-orange-plug/

Yes, that is exactly why I use them. A well recorded piece of prog (Dream theater being a good example) can sound other wordly through the ATC's. They act as a filter to sort of the wheat from the chaff. A well recorded piece of music through the ATC's just makes all the problems within this...

I own active ATC speakers and use them just for Heavy Metal & Prog.

Yep I checked with Shure and I've been reading the Vintage MM thread with great interest. Thanks guys!

Gentlemen, Can you use Shure N44-7 stylii in the Shure M55E. I think you can but would like some opinions before I buy one of these :- www.jico-stylus.com/product/n44-7-imp-sas-s/

You won't be able to get them replated in cadium, probably be nickle plate.

Just go to Martin Bastin. Here's my 401 build, but check out the plinth (best thing I did) https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?64515-GARRARD-401-Restoration-thread!!

Can you provide references ?

Fair play! Nice to see someone able to take a bit of joshing. I've owned a LP!2 but it's not the best belt driven system out there. The Humble heybrook TT2 is far superior with respects to setup. I own a very early TT2 with the original belt from 35+ years ago and its still spins at +/- 0.1-2...

Complete pish! My 301/401 Idlers are approaching 60 years old and require the old drop of oil and require none of the vodoo associated with the sprung chassis setup or worries of a knackered elastic band spinning the platter. Just saying...... 🤣

Look at how much messing about you've had to do just to get two records sounding different. A stock Lenco GL75 costing <£150 could have done this for you.

Yes, personal preference is indeed a very powerful driver. The LP!2 is an emotive subject and to some there will never be a better deck, but hey, all decks have good and bad points. It's just the sheer blindness of some owners that their will never be anything better, when clearly decks costing...
