So instead of starting a new thread I'll ask it here. Which TT and phono carts do you own and use and apx how many lps do you own?
For me Rega Planar 3 with a Rega Carbon conical cart. and a LP gear elliptical stylus upgrade.
About 100 lps currently mostly purchased used but some sound almost perfect.
Back in the day when I was really into vinyl I did have multiple TTs with many carts including a dynavector moving coil cart which to this day was the best sounding cart I ever owned. TTs included Dual Technics and Thorens and more carts than I can list. And probably 300 lps some of which I wish I would have kept.
I still think you should have started a separate thread....but I'm still using my Technics SL1200mk2 for the last 36 years now (after replacing my Dual 1219), current cart is a Shure M97xE, not a huge list of previous carts but a variety of brands (Grado and Shure have tended to be my go-to brands, tho). I still have all my LPs, plus some that friends gave me as they gave up playing vinyl, so somewhere near 800 I think, maybe 150 45s. I largely don't use them tho, when cd's came out I made the switch fairly quickly (and own a lot more albums in digital format), haven't bought new vinyl in well over 20 years now, and just play them occasionally mostly for nostalgia or something I don't have a digital version of....
