On a journey to my audio nirvana!
So some of you may have seen my mishap with my 2M Red Stylus!
Anyway, got the blue upgrade and it really is an upgrade. I’m very very impressed......
Unfortunately, I can only be impressed for 5 days it seems the Gods have decided! All of a sudden whilst listening to a LP, the platter slowed down....cos the whole sound went into tenor/bass realms....funny hearing Gaga like that. I’ve powered off etc but no change.....still running slow? Any ideas? it wasn’t too long ago serviced with a new belt (I say not long ago considering it must have been played less than 100 hrs since then, although be it about 8 years ago). I’m fed up with this! Is it time to bid farewell to the Rotel? Can’t be bothered with the faff of very manual TTs (4th July edit.....I’m over myself today so remembered that I do in fact like cueing up and taking arm off etc.....I was just in a funk and really didn’t describe myself very well!! ) but maybe a Technics might be ok (thought I read they auto return at end of play?) Bearing in mind I now have a new 2M Blue stylus that I would like to use...so would need something with a compatible cartridge..........
