Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

it's taken a while

but yes - I'm finally there.
What I was after was the effortlessness detail & transparency I heard from my old man's set up in 1980. Thorens TD150, Hadcock & Goldring entrée cartridge. It was just so musical - transparent & no vices or issues that reminded you were listening to vinyl. Just great sound.

I got the Linsley Hood phono stage when I still had the systemdek IIX with the rega 250. Spent a lot of time with cartridges & was never totally happy 'till I got the Michell Gyro - then put a Wilson Benesch act 0.5 on there. Then I made the effort to make an arc protractor specifically designed for the arm geometry.

Then I started cleaning my records.

Now I'm there. No nasties - no bearing rumble - no tracking distortion. Just fantastic sound from every record I put on there.

I'd like a Koetsu or something like that. I'd like to try using a better power supply for the Gyro. I'd like the Orbe screw-down puck - but for some reason I just keep buying more records !
