Analog Vs. Digital: The $900 Vs. $10,000 Surprise Of The Year!

Though I use CD and Digital Files with a cheap Schitt DAC I am still very much a vinyl records enthusiasm so it's time to use two turntables again.

I have two Ariston turntables, one RD11s and the other one RD80SL.

RD11s will be using the Fiedelity Research FR-54 heavy arm with Denon DL-102 Mono cartridge. The RD80SL will be using the SAEC 407/23 and the Ortofon 2M Blue.

I used to own many Linn LP12 and still have many parts. I had upgraded the springs on Ariston borrowed from the Linn ones which are much stiffer. It still needs more adjustment with the springs to get the right sound.

More music with my second Ariston turntable, especially females vocals as I was tidying up the female vocal collections.

I haven't heard some for some times now, so more to come soon.

今日我用1042做咗更多調整。仍然用緊同一個包裝硬泡沫，但係我保持厚度，等我可以調整 STA.

仲有，今晚我搵到呢個我好多年前整嘅柚木木塊。我剪咗啲嚟降低少少高度，聽日會用嚟睇下有冇改善，定係真係令到佢變差啲。

噉新玩具Goldring G1042就到咗喇。我梗係等唔切試下佢 … …(sorry, I am only using very cheap items if possible)

第一首歌嚟測試會係 Eve Cassidy "What a Wonderful World"
