I bought a Sony PS-X40 with a Shure M95-HE cartridge off of eBay for $59.

I just unboxed it and hooked it up to my Hagerman Bugle preamp and into the Equilibrato, and it is shockingly good:o! I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. It is not the last word in detail and the highs are rolled off slightly, but it sounds pretty darn good for the money.

I thought I would just toss the cart and replace it with something better. But I think I will keep this setup for a while. :D

Had lunch with 909, Augsburger and Guzziguy today. I borrowed 909s Denon DL-110 cartridge, if I can find a decent phono preamp to go with it, this may replace the Shure cart that is on the Sony right now.

Also dropped off my music hall mmf-5 to replace the Shure M97Xe with a Audio Technica 440MLa. I hope with the cartridge change and if he can setup the turntable properly, it will sound a lot better, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

What's the green fuzz looking mat on the Technics platter? It looks like you're still using the stock rubber mat on top of it?

A green "SRA adjuster"? :)

more or less. Its a cheap rubber mat on top of a cheap felt mat. By themselves neither allows proper VTA with anything I own. I have never gotten around to buying a proper techincs mat to make it work right.

UPDATE!

I remembered that I had an oracle mat that I got with some other gear. Tried it out. fucking mats. GRRR. I wish that I could not hear a difference. It would make my life sooooooo much simpler.

you people in this thread are a bad influence on my wallet.
