Technics - SL-1500C Turntable with Built-in Preamp & Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge

Product No: T SL-1500C S
Available: InStock
Category: Turntable
Label: Equipment

Fantastic

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, December 28, 2025 by Alan I'm upgrading from a Fluance RT-85 and the SL-1500 is well worth the money. Setup was easy. Compared to the Fluance this is a beast. Very stable even with the Ortofon 2M Red it sounds great. I wanted this for Christmas everyone was sold out but Chad came through! The only person that had therm in stock. I ordered in Silver as that's the Technics proper color. My Fluance had a major issue and they don't stand behind their products post warranty.Technics has a proper website where you can order any parts you could possibly need in the future. Thanks to Chad I'm going back to listening to all my records with new enthusiasm. Now I just need to decide what is the best cartridge to upgrade to. Thanks again Chad.

Posted Tuesday, December 3, 2024 by Anonymous I used these boxes ( and the inner 12/25 boxes) to ship over a large vinyl collection from London.They're thick and sturdy and despite the regular clumsiness of couriers and customs, they arrived in perfect shape. Highly recommended.

Rega - APHETA 3 MC CARTRIDGE

Product No: T APHETA
Available: InStock
Category: Low Output Cartridges
Label: Equipment

Excellent!

5 Stars
Posted Friday, August 23, 2024 by Don Allen I bought the P6/Ania package, and was very impressed. I had read that the Ania was a great cartridge, but the Apheta 3 was amazing. The Ania opened my eyes to to what was possible, but it had some qualities that were almost there, but no cigar, so I sprung for the Apheta 3. I am amazed. With this cart, everything fell into place. I highly recommend it. My hunch is that this cart takes us up to the point of diminishing returns, meaning that from this point, small increments of improvement will cost you very significant dollars. I honestly have no complaints about this cart.

Klaudio - Vinyl LP Record Ultrasonic Cleaner with Dryer (External Reservoir)

Product No: E KLT ER
Available: InStock
Category: Record Cleaning Machine
Label: Equipment

Waited two years to write this review

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, July 17, 2024 by Anonymous This is the best record cleaning machine I have owned. I had the Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner for years. I could get 2-3 years from it and would have to replace it. It did a good job but requires a lot of brushes and sponges that are replaced regularly and the machines don’t last. The KLAUDIO is a significant upgrade and very robust. Nothing is wearing out - I have cleaned thousands of records and it just works perfectly. I recognize this is a serious investment but I find it is worth it. I marvel at how effective the cleaning is and how well this machine works. It does a much better job than the Audio Desk and is incredibly reliable and easier to use. I’m very happy with this one.

Ortofon - 2M Black High Output Cartridge

Product No: T 2M BLK
Available: InStock
Category: Hi Output Cartridges
Label: Equipment

Pricey, but well worth it

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, June 12, 2024 by Kevin K I have been a loyal customer of Ortofon cartridges for several years, progressing through the line from the pre-installed Red to Blue to the Bronze. Reading misc reviews, it sounded as though the Bronze was the cartridge that would fit my bill for the long run. I would look at the Black, contemplating what appeared to be a 50/50 feel for the value of upgrading from Bronze to Black vs. just trying the black stylus mounted to the Bronze. Anyway, I pulled the trigger on the Black this week with minimal expectations. Boy, was I WRONG! The Black provides an outstanding amount of realistic range on both ends as well as clarity increase beyond expectations - Certainly one of the most tangible improvements I've made to my system in the last couple of years! Thanks for having it in-stock !!

Really does work

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, March 9, 2024 by Patrick Have cleaned my records for years with pretty much the stock VPI system with pretty good results. Experimented switching to the disc doctor brushes and fluid while retaining the VPI for drying, and the results have been amazing. Records I'd written off as too noisy restored to excellent condition. Highly recommended.

Clearaudio - Tracer Tonearm

Product No: T TRACERS

Category: Tonearm
Label: Equipment

Excellent Tonearm

4 Stars
Posted Friday, December 15, 2023 by Mike Zay So I have the ClearAudio Performance DC AiR, and whent with the tracer tonearm and it's and very nice piece and adds better detail with the right cartridge, which I have the Clear Audio Charisma and sounds amazing! I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because it's the tonearm wire are very thin! And when I received it one of the prongs was disconnected. Luckily I have a friend that knows how to solder and he fixed it. Just be aware that these are very delicate tonearms and I only mentioned that that this is my second one I had to replace from a different company. Still waiting on that one to be fixed, so I had to shall out more money do get this one that comes with the Performance DC AiR if you chose to. I just wish ClearAudio would make the tonearm arm wire thicker because of this issue.

TM-8 - Super Record Cleaning Fluid

Product No: C TM8-32
Available: InStock
Category: Record Cleaner
Label: Equipment

Phenomenal Cleaning Fluid

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, April 27, 2023 by Joe I've never invested in a vacuum or supersonic cleaner, so I wanted to find something that could provide stunning sound with a manual clean. This absolutely does the trick! I use the TM-8 fluid with a label protector and a goat hair brush and I'm able to get absolutely phenomenal sound out of the records. Additionally, I've used it on some 45s that are 60+ years old and the results have been beyond spectacular!

HANA - Microline Series Low-Output Moving Coil Cartridge

Product No: T HANA ML
Available: BackOrdered
Category: Low Output Cartridges
Label: Equipment

One of the most accurate musical cartridges at any price

5 Stars
Posted Monday, January 23, 2023 by Anonymous Somebody who writes for Stereophile magazine suggested this cartridge to me over a 3K Soundsmith voice I'd been using for a while that was good but overly analytical and boring. The Hana ML is everything, It's not. It's a fun, involving cart to listen to for many hours at a time, and equals many cartridges more than twice its price. Now when I cue a record on my old VPI Classic 1, I just sit back, relax and enjoy the music. Over the years, I've owned many more pricey low output MCs, but none of them come close to the sound of the Hana ML. Highly recommended.

D.B. Systems - DB Systems DBP-6 Phono Capacitor Loading Kit

Product No: W DBP-6
Available: InStock

Label: Equipment

VERY helpful

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, August 30, 2022 by Mark Williams I use a Shure V-15 III and currently have a JICO SAS with zirconium cantilever on it. My phono pre is a Schiit Mani (new "2" version) and it has some selections for load available. However, the V-15 III is supposed to see a total of 400pf to 500pf and even adding in the SME arm cables and the max positions on the Mani dip switches, I could not get it that high. I felt the cart was sounding mighty zippy, especially on muted trumpets, saxes, certain percussion, etc. and I ordered this set to experiment more easily with different amounts of capacitance. I will further check this with a test record and a meter, but once i hit about 450pf, all the mid band voicing settled right in! Vocals, saxes, horns, percussion - all sound "right" now. Very handy little kit!

Sound improvement

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, July 31, 2022 by Vlad Great pre-amp I do have improvement in sound separation. I switched stock installed JJ tube to my lovely Telefunken ECC83 and wow, it’s sounds even better now. I don’t use subsonic filter since I have both Hi and Low filters on my both Marantz receivers. This is my second Pro-Ject pre amp I also have the DS tube box MKI. I do like both. Also a very good service with fast free delivery.

Great deal for some quality sleeves!

5 Stars
Posted Monday, March 21, 2022 by JK I've gone between MoFi and Invest In Vinyl. I really wanted the best price for a large order. These sleeves are great! They are basically the same as the others, maybe even closer to MoFi than Invest... Worth the $ if you need a bulk size order.
