I have a Technics sl1210 mk2 turntable and was wondering what cartridges are better suited for music than what I've got. I've got a Shure M447 and I always thought it sounded a bit harsh.

after reading reviews for both, I think I'm going to pick up the Denon. So what is the hype of a MC?

Google "moving magnet vs moving coil" for some more insight from owners. Some people's tastes lean toward MM over MC so it's hardly open and shut, but the Denon's are regarded as pretty special.

Well only one way to find out. I have to recover from Christmas before I get one, but I'm gettin' one for sure.

My local music store went out of business, anyone know any good online sites to buy LP's from?

AVOID THOSE BRUSHES IF YOU VALUE YOUR RECORDS AND YOUR SANITY.

I bought one of those no name carbon fiber record brushes. After a few weeks of using it, all of my records began to sound like utter poo poo. As it turns out, the brush ended up shedding all over my record collection, and the microscopic fibers ended up getting embedded into the grooves of my LPs. I had to have them professionally cleaned.

so how does one clean them at home?

Just got my Denon DL110. WOW much better than the 774. I could tell instantly. The harshness went away. It sounds smoother than Barry White.
kingcobweb, if you've got the money, I would look into the Denon DL110 for a cartridge.

My Technics 1210 MkII has a broke lifter thing that is on the tone arm. Is there anywhere I can get this piece without buying a whole new tone arm?
Excuse the dust, just pulled it out from a cabinet I had it in and it doesn't have a cover.

Figured the issue out, appears the tone arm is bad. I followed the directions in this youtube and it's fixed for now.
Time to order a new tone arm.

Jesus Christ, I just looked at this video and tried this test. Apparently the previous owner already loosened it, probably masking the bearing damage from however he broke the lift arm, and the bearing assembly definitely has been mangled. gently caress! I can't afford a god drat arm right now and I just want to play some music.
