Seriously though, I really want to hear what you think would be a better turntable for your average vinyl enthusiast than a 1200.

When my Dad was alive and playing me lots of music it was on some kind of belt-drive Marantz with some kind of Ortofon cart that I can't recall, and delicate as it was, I always thought it tracked better than the various 1200s and Stantons that I was playing around with at the time. But like I said, I couldn't give less of a gently caress what 'your average vinyl enthusiast' listens on because I'm not a huge loving dork.

I think your average vinyl enthusiast would be fine with any mediocre USB capable turntable with a pre-ampped rca out. The primary concern is putting the vinyl on the thing and getting easy outputs.

But like I said, I couldn't give less of a gently caress what 'your average vinyl enthusiast' listens on because I'm not a huge loving dork. That's fair, Marantz made some pretty decent turntables and you can't really go wrong with an Ortofon cartridge. 1200s and especially Stantons tend to be much more abused and have shittier cartridges/needles on them so I can see where you're coming from. The point is that if you have a good quality 1200 that you're not banging into things and you put a good quality cartridge/needle on it, it'll almost certainly be a better setup than the Marantz.

Every pair of 1210s I've used was battered from being carted around from venue to venue by a guy who insists he must only spin vinyl and makes out like if you can't beat match on vinyl you can't DJ. The same guy who spends like 2 minutes chasing the kick and plays a really boring set of the same poo poo he always does. I always quite liked Numark's TTX decks, those came with all the 1210 goodies but had an absurdly strong motor on them and a line level out which simplified things a bit. Anyway vinyl purist DJs are especially weird because gently caress carting round all that poo poo. By all means enjoy listening to it at home but at this point if you're a vinyl DJ and your entire crate isn't unreleased-on-any-other-format tunes and dub plates then you're just making things harder than they need to be.

I use a beat up SL-1700 mk1 with a busted 45rpm adjustment pot that needs new silicone fluid for the cueing arm. I wouldn't trade it for any new reasonably priced belt drive TT. And that's coming from a guy that covers his amplifier in objects designed to counteract vibrations, negative resonance, and EMI all while trapping heat.

I've heard that cat purrs were used to cure broken bones... Maybe they're good for rounding the digital audio waves. How is your sound stage with audio companion installed vs without audio companion?

How is your sound stage with audio companion installed vs without audio companion? You see, the standing resonant frequency waves of the cat's purring counteracts the ground loop quantum entanglement that muddies the power line harmonics. You'll notice a big boost in the airiness and clawlike transients in the melodic overtones.

Tangentially related but I've been thinking about 'synthesis for cats'. I wonder what kind of patches I could make in any one of my synths, that a cat would find pleasing. Have there been studies on this? I imagine they like low rumbling tones like their own purring. Off the top of my head (not opening my DAW because I'm literally that lazy rn) I could probably replicate this with some subby noise/rumble oscillators simply amplitude modulated by a couple of LFOs for that purr texture. Intermittent staccato chirps from a 303 with the resonance and env mod turned up also sound a lot like birds.

My old man cat likes jazz (which earned him the nickname Reginald J. Tubbs, Esq, where the J stands for "Jazzcat"), but the new kitten seems mostly startled by 303 clones and Pocket Operators.

I was aiming for a big dumb AB amp that can supply all the current I’d ever want and it fit the bill. Looks nicer than the Hint 6 and when you take the top cover off the inside is a work of art. I’m sure that effects the sound quality. tater_salad posted:I've heard that cat purrs were used to cure broken bones... Maybe they're good for rounding the digital audio waves.
