Hello
This is my first post so be gentle, I am hoping to gain some advice from some of the Pink Fish members.
I am in the process of preparing to ripp my vinyl collection.
I have modified a Technics 1200 for this purpose and I am currently unhappy with the sound it produces.
Details of record deck: Technics 1200 in Good condistion, Rega RB101 arm, Goldring Elektra cartridge, origin arm board, felt mat, Neutrik professional phono connectors on rega arm cable.
The cartridge has been aligned using a Rega protractor.
Details of rest of system: B+W 685 speakers, Rega Brio3 amplifier, Peachtree audio DACIT, Mini Mac, home made Cables using Vandam cable and Neutrik connectors, home make Oak record deck plinth and hifi stand
The sound this deck produces with a new 180g record is clean and clear, all of the frequency range is present in the correct quanities, but it is lacking in resolution and detail. The involving analog sound I know vinyl can produce is lacking, the sound is sterile and boring.
Can anyone advise me on the best course of action to get a better sound from this set up.
Have I made a fatal error in using a cheap arm and cartridge? Could it be my cartridge alignment or turntable set up? Or phono pre amp?
Any advice would be greatly appreiated.
Kind regards
Adam
