Looking for a new #cartridege for my #RecordPlayer
(the "modern" kind this time, not an Edison cylinder!). Wondering if there are fediverse ppl who talk about this sort of thing?
Usually for hobby topics I end up having to go to FB to find people. I'd rather not since FB sucks (both ethically and practically).
I have an old Garrard turntable. It's been pretty nice but the cartridge seems to be broken. Since I play pretty much every kind of record (78/45/LP), I'm looking for advice for a replacement that makes it easy to play both 78's and microgrove records, and works with a standard 0.5" mount.
I've seen a few cartridges that have a stylus that flips over for different needles for 78 or LP. Are those any good? (It's a little hard to find ones for 0.5" mount, but there's a few).
I cannot recommend enough, the newly released 'Signs of Life' from @neilhimself & #fourplaystringquartet. There's nothing else in the world like it. It's haunting, beautiful, & moving. #NeilGaiman has a lovely singing voice which is a treat to hear.🥹
Side note: the stunning cover #art by #ShaunTan might be a tad spooky for even big #dogs who think that they're ruff, tuff, stuff; so be mindful when admiring the cover (wait for it in the vid🐾)
